Slurry pipelines are used to transport aggregate materials by embedding them in a fluid, usually water. At the end of the pipeline, the material is dehydrated, and the aggregate is thus available. However, the water that is removed may contain environmentally hazardous materials and create an environmental problem. Typical materials that are transferred using slurry pipelines include coal, copper, iron, and phosphate concentrates, limestone, lead, zinc, nickel, bauxite and oil sands.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Slurry."

Slurry trailers were stable at around 2,500 units, with most units having a capacity of less than 10 tons (70%). Although sales of livestock trailers decreased by 300 units from 1998, the livestock transportation vehicles market remained strong, at 3,200 units for the year. The feed platforms market increased by 9%, and towed fertilizer spreaders remained stable at approximately 300 units. (references) | ||
