Hydrotransport - The cost-effective alternative solution to transportation by means of truck or train

摘要

So far, truck or railway transportation has generally been applied for the delivery of a large variety of resources or waste products for processing, shipment or disposal to remote places. In view of global warming and the overall threat for our planet resulting thereof, a noticeable trend reversal is now observable in this regard. In terms of environmental protection, an innovative and cost-effective alternative solution is icreasingly applied: Hydrotransport Using latest technology, solids carrying fluids (mostly non-Newtonian fluids) are pumped environmentally-friendly to their destination through pipelines, in many cases over several hundreds of kilometres. The fluid serves as carrier for the solids in the pressure line.
