Abstract: There is a great deal of misinformation in the industry on pumping high density, viscous slurries. These misconceptions become “accepted truths” as time goes on and at best hinder and at worst stop, implementation of appropriate technology. Unfortunately, the root of these misconceptions is often due to experiences gained on poorly understood, designed or implemented systems. Advancement in a technology can only be realized by formulation of new methods of calculation. The objective of this project is to address some issues by tracing historic development of pumping and how the efficiency can be increased. It is accepted that many of the fundamental problems cannot be resolved and continued improvements in slurry transport will mean that new challenges will arise. However, there is a better understanding of how to increase the efficiency by varying pipe diameters.
Keywords: slurry transport, industry, varying pipe diameters.
