coal slurry pipelines

Coal slurry pipelines are specialized systems used to transport pulverized coal mixed with water, creating a thick, viscous fluid known as slurry. This method allows for more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation compared to traditional trucking or rail methods, reducing dust and greenhouse gas emissions. Slurry can be pumped over long distances through pipelines, facilitating the movement of coal from mines to power plants or processing facilities. The technology is advantageous in regions where coal is abundant but transportation infrastructure is lacking, helping to optimize the coal supply chain.
