The Savage River iron ore slurry pipeline commenced transporting magnetite concentrate on October 26, 1967 and has continuously operated for over 45 years. A key element in the evolution of long distance slurry pipelines is the adaptation of cross country oil and gas pipeline technology to the transport of minerals and coal in slurry form.
Turbulent slurry particles exit the launders and gouge into HDPE and rubber lining, causing leaks and early spool failure. The engineer at Cloudbreak redesigned the piping to move away from HDPE and rubber-lined steel towards something that would give better wear resistance.
As part of our Iron Ore Brazil portfolio, the Minas-Rio project is a Tier One resource and is expected to significantly enhance Anglo American's position in the highly attractive global …

The pipeline system is designed to transport 26.6 million tones per year of iron ore concentrate for 20 years operation, running 365 days a year, 24 hours a day with 95% overall efficiency. The pipeline is designed to transport iron ore slurry for the conditions shown in Table 1. Table 1 – Operating Condition Continuous Operating Condition
Our slurry pipeline solutions provide endless possibilities - Slurry pipeline technology or 'hydro transportation', minimises the impact on local communities and the environment. It is a safe transportation alternative with lower pollution levels, fuel costs, man power requirements and reliance on high-use transport corridors.
In a major risk mitigation step, Essar Steel has started surveying the areas through which it would reroute the Kirandul-Vizag pipeline, which transports iron ore in the form of slurry from Chhattisgarh to its pelletisation plant in Visakhapatnam.
Hence, the transportation of iron ore as slurry through pipelines is an alternative, economic and environmentally friendly transportation system which will overcome the congested transportation ...
A slurry pipeline is a specially engineered pipeline used to move ores such as coal, iron or mining waste over long distances. According to the task force to draw up the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), "Ministry of Steel has identified four slurry pipeline projects, to be implemented over fiscals 2020-2025 and the total capital ...
