A year ago, a slurry pipeline made of polyethylene pipes with flanged connections, manufactured by TechPolymer, was commissioned at a tailings storage facility in the Amur Region.
The slurry pipeline is operating successfully to date.
Key advantages of TechPolymer Group’s quick-release slurry pipelines:
- Flanged connections allow the slurry pipeline to be reused.
- Easy installation: free steel retaining flanges enable the slurry pipeline to be assembled quickly and to a high standard.
- The installation time for one joint is 7-15 minutes, depending on the pipe diameter.
- Polyethylene slurry pipelines are six times lighter than steel ones.
- Low hydroabrasive wear.
- The frost resistance of polyethylene allows the slurry pipeline to be operated during winter.
- There is virtually no loss of flow velocity due to friction.
- The flexibility and elasticity of polyethylene pipes allow them to be laid directly on the ground without preliminary preparation.
