PATERSON & COOKE Presents a Four-Day Course on: 17-2 0 FEBRUARY 2015 Slurry Pipeline Principles & Applications THE BREAKWATER LODGE, VICTORIA & ALFRED WATERFONT, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA Course Introduction Paterson & Cooke has been presenting a course on slurry pipeline systems annually since 1995. Over the years the content has evolved and feedback from previous delegates has indicated a need to shift the emphasis from the theoretical aspects of slurry pipeline design to include additional practical content which focuses on a wide range of slurry pipeline applications. Slurry pipelines are commonly used to transport mineral concentrates and ores and are replacing conventional bulk materials transport options such as road and rail. New developments in solids-liquid dewatering mean that it is possible to transport highly concentrated viscous slurries that behave differently from conventional slurries. It is important for those involved in slurry systems to understand these differences and this new format course provides delegates with a comprehensive introduction to the different types of slurries and their applications in the mining industry. Objectives The aim of the course is to provide attendees with a thorough overview of the various applications of slurry pipelines in the mining industry and to provide a basic understanding of the requirements for a successful slurry pipeline system. Content Programme Presentations Presenters The four-day course consists of a series of lecture sessions, tutorial sessions and slurry flow behaviour demonstrations. Each delegate is issued with a complete set of the presentations and tutorial worksheets covering the topics discussed. A laptop or scientific calculator is essential for the tutorial sessions. Dates Venue The course will be held in February 2015 at the Graduate School of Business, The Breakwater Lodge, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa. The course dates are: Tuesday 17 - Friday 20 February 2015. CALGARY CAPE TOWN The course is presented by Dr Angus Paterson, Mr Graeme Johnson, Mr Peter Goosen, Mr Michael Fehrsen and Dr Nic Marais of Paterson & Cooke.
