OPERATING SOLIDS PIPELINES

Previous articles in this series have concentrated on design. To end this three part series the authors review the engineering problems in operating solids pipelines. Various installations are reviewed such as gravity types, pumping stations using sludge or solids pumps, pumping stations having clear-water pumps and suction, dredging and filling installations. A brief review of the various types of pipes and pumps is provided, listing the advantages of each depending on the installation and type of slurry to be handled.
