Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5380932
This study examines major technical, economic, environmental and logistic aspects of aqueous and non-aqueous coal slurry pipeline systems. Factors affecting slurry preparation, separation and utilization were considered. Transport media included water, methanol, no. 2 fuel oil, and liquid CO/sub 2/. Analyses were based on data available in the open literature. Long distance transport systems were considered as well as short distance concepts. System characteristics were analyzed in relation to throughput rate, pipe diameter, coal particle size and transport media. Volume 3 contains appdices as follows: benefits of transporting dried coal; milling power requirements for the different slurries; mixing power requirements; determination of density and viscosity of coal slurries; procedure for pipeline design calculations; Newton's method of equation solving; calculation of critical velocity to prevent deposition; methodology of economic comparison of different fuel slurries in pipelines; list of coal slurry pipeline studies (1972 to 1980) and bibliography.
