This paper reviews the state of the art of coal/methanol slurry pipeline design. The results of preliminary laboratory investigation of coal/methanol slurry are presented. The characteristics of coal/methanol slurry are compared and contrasted with those of coal/water slurry, and their probable impact on slurry pipeline design and operation reviewed. Further, the work necessary to commercialize coal/methanol slurry applications is discussed. 4 refs.
