Is coal log pipeline the same as coal slurry pipeline?
No, coal slurry pipeline does not involve coal logs. It transports coal in slurry form – a mixture (paste) of fine coal particles in water. For coal slurry pipeline, the solid-to-water ratio is one. This means each pound of water transports only one pound of coal. Therefore, coal log pipeline (CLP) uses only one-third to one-fourth of the water needed by coal slurry pipeline to transport the same amount of coal.
