FUTURE OF PIPELINE--BEYOND LIQUID AND GAS

Beyond the use of pipelines for fluid transport, technological development and social pressure are broadening the areas of potential use of this mode. The author notes that comprehensive transportation planning has almost completely ignored solids transport by pipeline. While the author admits that many of his proposals discount technical problems, he notes that it was not written as an exhaustive and authoritative document on solid pipelining. Instead, it is intended to spark an interest in this technology.
