Editing Slurry pipeline (section)

==Planned projects==
One of the longest slurry pipelines was to be the proposed ETSI pipeline, to transport coal from Wyoming to Louisiana over a distance of 1036 miles (1675&nbsp;km). It was never commissioned. It is anticipated that in the next few years some long distance slurry pipelines will be constructed in Australia and South America where mineral deposits are often a few hundred kilometers away from shipping ports.

A 525&nbsp;km slurry pipeline is planned for the [[Minas-Rio]] iron ore mine in [[Brazil]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bnamericas.com/project-profile/en/Minas-Rio-Minas-Rio|access-date=2010-12-12|title=Project Profiles, Minas-Rio|date=2010-12-12}}</ref>

Slurry pipelines are also being considered to desilt or remove silts from deposits behind dams in man-made lakes.  After the [[Hurricane Katrina]] disaster there were proposals to remedy the environment by pumping silt to the shore.  Proposals have also been made to de-silt [[Lake Nasser|Lake Nubia-Nasser]] in [[Egypt]] and [[Sudan]] by slurry pipelines, as Egypt is now deprived of 95% of its [[alluvium]], which used to arrive every year.  These projects to remedy the environment might alleviate one of the major problems associated with large dams and man-made lakes.

[[ESSAR Steel India Limited]] owns two >250&nbsp;km slurry pipelines in India; the Kirandul-Vishakhapatnam (slurry pipeline) and Dabuna-Paradeep pipeline.
