    摘要: Colloidal coal-in-water slurries having nano-particles of coal creating a pseudo-fluid. The colloidal coal-in-water slurry generally includes from about fifty to about seventy two weight percent of coal, with about 20 to about 80 percent of the coal having a particle size of about one micron or less with a mode particle size of about 250 nanometers. The coal-in-water slurry can also include a surfactant system containing one surfactant or mixtures of two or more surfactants, or mixtures of one or more surfactants and an inorganic or organic salt. The coal-in-water slurry can be used in low NOx burner applications as the main fuel and/or the reburn fuel, in gasification processes as the input fuel either alone, or in combination with organic materials, in gas turbine applications, and in diesel engine applications.

    摘要: A process for transporting viscous oil in a pipeline is described which comprises placing a spherical sealed pig within the pipeline at a desired position; filling a fraction of the pipeline upstream of the pig with a low viscosity fluid such as water; and initiating core flow of a viscous oil such as a heavy or extra heavy crude oil after the first fraction has been filled. The process permits the core-flowed viscous oil to be transported in the same pipeline with a non-core-flowed fluid. To do this, a second pig is placed in the pipeline intermediate the core-flowed viscous oil and the non-core-flowed fluid and a second fraction of the pipeline intermediate the second pig and the core-flowed viscous oil batch is filled with a low viscosity fluid such as water.
