Course
Introduction
Paterson & Cooke has been presenting a
course on slurry pipeline systems annually
since 1995. Over the years the content has
evolved and feedback from previous delegates
has indicated a need to shift the emphasis from
the theoretical aspects of slurry pipeline design
to include additional practical content which
focuses on a wide range of slurry pipeline
applications.
Slurry pipelines are commonly used to
transport mineral concentrates and ores and
are replacing conventional bulk materials
transport options such as road and rail. New
developments in solids-liquid dewatering
mean that it is possible to transport highly
concentrated viscous slurries that behave differently from conventional slurries. It is important
for those involved in slurry systems to understand these differences and this new format course
provides delegates with a comprehensive introduction to the different types of slurries and their
applications in the mining industry.
Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide attendees with a thorough overview of the various applications
of slurry pipelines in the mining industry and to provide a basic understanding of the requirements
for a successful slurry pipeline system.

Presentations
Presenters
The four-day course consists of a series of lecture sessions, tutorial sessions and slurry flow
behaviour demonstrations. Each delegate is issued with a complete set of the presentations and
tutorial worksheets covering the topics discussed. A laptop or scientific calculator is essential for
the tutorial sessions.
