TEST WORK FOR SLURRY PIPELINE DESIGN

The slurry laboratory is equipped with extensive space and equipment to fulfill all slurry testing needs.

Pilot plant thickeners, filtration units and mixers are available to mimic onsite process upstream or downstream of a slurry pipeline. Pipe loop testing is available on request, for projects requiring more extensive modelling.
