Slurry to Santiago pipeline transport
conference
Slurry Handling And Pipeline Transport 16 Conference, to be held in Santiago, Chile, addresses the need from engineers concerned with every aspect of slurry transportation for high quality information
The challenge of hydrotransport handling of solid/liquid mixtures in pipelines, open channels, long distance pipelines and in-plant transference is well-established throughout industry This most basic of techniques can provide a cost-effective, economic and efficient method of handling products with minimum maintenance and low environmental impact

Fluid sealing technology course to be repeated
High demand for specialised training in fluid sealing technology meant that the latest training course from the BHR Group was significantly oversubscribed, and the course will be repeated
But while the technique is widely used throughout industry there is still potential for cost savings, innovative application and transfer of technology and knowledge between different sectors.
Industry professionals need to know how to optimise handling techniques, develop and deploy new engineering solutions and see how different sectors have solved complex problems so that new installations can provide an effective return on investment.
Slurry Handling And Pipeline Transport 16, to be held in Santiago, Chile from 26-28 April 2004, addresses the need from engineers concerned with every aspect of slurry transportation for high quality information.

The event is BHR Group's 16th International Conference on the subject and over the past 30 years it has established itself as a regular international event by bringing together experts and users from diverse industries around the world.
This year's event builds on the success of its predecessors and presents an ideal opportunity for engineers to discuss and find out more about new research and developments, consider innovative solutions and explore technology transfer between industries.
Santiago was chosen as the venue for this year's event in recognition of Chile's leading position in the design and construction of slurry pipelines in recent years.
The conference programme has been devised to provide authoritative information on the latest research and applications.
Keynote presentations will include information on South American applications such as the Samarco iron ore slurry pipeline, the longest of its type in the world, and experiences with slurry flumes in Chile as well as news on the latest research from leading academics.
Separate conference sessions will focus on each of the major areas of slurry handling and transportation including: Coarse Particle Slurries; Modelling and Simulation; Instrumentation; Non-Newtonian; Open Channels; Pipeline Operations; Pneumatic Conveying; Pumps; Rheology; Valves And Fittings; Flumes, Clearing and Deblocking Pipelines.
Slurry Handling And Pipeline Transport is designed for engineers from a wide range of industries, research establishments and public authorities whose responsibilities include slurry, pneumatic or capsule transportation or who are seeking novel solutions to materials transportation problems.
Industries where hydrotransport and slurry handling have been applied include chemical and process, food and pharmaceutical, oil and gas, mining and aggregates, water, dredging, coal and nuclear power generation, sludge and waste management, agrochemicals, bulk chemicals, specialty and fine chemicals, pulp and paper, building and construction, and ceramics.
The organisers have arranged a selection of site visits for Thursday 29 April to complement the conference.
These will include visits to the Broncos Mine and Andina Mine to see some hydrotransport and slurry handling installations in action.
The conference is supported and sponsored by the Chilean Institute of Mining Engineers (IIMCH), The Institute of Mining Engineers Peru (IIMP) with additional sponsorship from The British Society of Rheology, Aspen Technology, Paterson and Cooke Consulting Engineers, Pipeline Systems Inc, and United Pipeline Systems.
