A SULFUR-PETROLEUM CONDENSATE SLURRY IS TRANSPORTED THROUGH A PIPELINE

A sulfur-petroleum condensate slurry is transported through a pipeline without sticking, agglomeration, or plugging of the line by premixing 0.1-10% of a polar surfactant derived from crude oil with a liquid petroleum condensate, injecting molten sulfur into the mixture, and injecting the resulting slurry into a pipeline.
