Abstract

Slurry pipelines have now become an accepted means of solids transportation in many parts of the world and can offer economic, technological and environmental advantages in many cases. Comparative studies into transportation costs associated with electricity generation have considered electrical transmission, diesel rail, electric rail and slurry pipeline. On a total energy development basis these studies have shown a clear overall economic advantage where transportation via slurry pipeline is utilised. A further comparison of established conventional slurry pipeline technology with the BHP/ BPA IPTACCS system currently under development has shown the potential for a significant decrease in operating costs where IPTACCS system is used. The IPTACCS technology is currently being extended to provide a totally integrated power station fuel delivery system, with the Electricity Commission of NSW as a third partner. A pilot demonstration plant of nominally 30 T/ hr ROM coal capacity is currently under construction at the Newcastle Wangi Power Station and will be used to fire a 60 MWE boiler.
