THE BLACK MESA COAL/WATER SLURRY PIPELINE SYSTEM

摘要

The Black Mesa Pipeline is a 273 mile (439 km) long, 18-inch (457 mm) coal/water slurry pipeline, originating on the Black Mesa in the Northeastern part of Arizona, USA. The system delivers coal from the Peabody Coal Company's Black Mesa open pit mine to the Mohave Generating Station which is a 1580 mw steam powered electric generating plant located in Laughlin, Nevada.Coal is transferred from Peabody Coal Company to Black Mesa Pipeline as the 2 inch × 0 (51 mm × 0) coal is deposited on the transfer conveyors which move the coal to three elevated storage silos located at the slurry preparation plant.
