    Gold Tailings transportation

    Thank you all very much, especially micalbrch. Yes, I concluded the heat tracing is a must. The project is in Kyrgyz Republic (one of the former comunist country); the power failure is very likely to happen and to last; yes, we will flash the tailings immediately, but in that part of the world...

    Piping issues in iron ore processing

    thank you micalbrch; very useful even general. MORE INFO FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP: Our iron ore is similar to the brazilian iron ore, lots of fines. I wanted to know if there is somebody out there involved in iron ore project and knows about specific/particular issues when handling iron...

    PUG MILLS

    Has anyone used Pug Mills for bauxite grinding? If you used them for different application then bauxite, I am still interested in your comments on the reliability, availability and pricing of this equipment if possible. Thank you!

    Heap Leach Pad

    This is a nickel recovery project. The ore is nickel laterite. We want to build a heap leach pad with the ore coming from agglomeration. We ended up with the conclusion that we need 8 pads of 130Wx300Lx8H meters. Presently we try to build the first pad and we estimated that we need a stacker, an...

    Standard fabricated pipe length

    Thank you all for your input. I am in Montreal, Canada and the pipe we are looking for is 24" CS STD.Wt. pipe / A106 B, is a steam line to be run on over 3.5 Km.. Have a nice week-end everyone,

    Standard fabricated pipe length

    Could someone confirm that 60 foot length is a common fabricated length these days for 24" dia CS welded pipe. If YES, any manufacturer name available? Thank you in advance.

    24" FRP line

    JStephen and MikeHalloran, I confirm that this is FRP pipe with 24"dia, that could be used in continuous service under 350 deg.F for flue gas. I do not know how other medium could be handled. The manufacturer is in Nova Scotia, Canada. Thank you for your input.

    Expansion loops

    Dear DSB123, I do not perform the analysis. Even though, I will fully appreciate an answer that helps me learning something. I expected at least to be guided where to learn from, not to be advised to give up. Thank you anyway for your time.

    24" FRP line

    This is flue gas at 177 degC(approx. 350 deg F)under 69 kPa (10 psi) pressure transported through 24" dia FRP pipe. As mention previously I will appreciate your help if anybody has any experience with the expension joints preferred over the bell/spigot (O-ring) connections or viceversa? Thank you!

    Expansion loops

    We perform stress anlysis for a 24" dia steam pipe, running on over 3.5 km. We design a number of expansion loops and considered an anchor on each side of the loop (loop is between two anchors). The pipe passed in Cesar, but our structural engineer tells us that his structure cannot take any...

    24" FRP line

    We design a 24" pipe line for flue gas running on over 3.5 km of land. Are the expension joints preferred over the bell/spigot (O-ring) connections? If YES or NO could you, please, give reason. Thank you all!

    24" steam line stress analysis

    I modelled a 24" steam line that is connected at one end to an existing pipe line coming from plant equipment and at the opposite end to an existing pipe line going into a steam header. For a complete analysis I include at each end a section of the existing line. This existing line section is...

    Pickling & Passivating

    Could somebody confirm this statement: If a surface is passivated, it is understood that was previously pickled. Therefore in saying a surface is pickled and passivated, the word pickling becomes redundant. Is this right?
