Abstract

See full text

A slurry-transporting facility equipped with a plurality of pump-equipment circuits, whereby a stop of slurry supply to a transport destination at the time of switchover between the pump-equipment circuits for use is prevented to make an efficient operation possible. The slurry-transporting facility includes: pipe arrangements which branch out from a feed tank into the plurality of circuits; a transport pump provided in each of the pipe arrangement; a first valve provided upstream from the transport pump; a second valve provided downstream from the transport pump; and a uniting pipe arrangement formed by joining of the pipe arrangements at a predetermined position and connected to a LT heater. The uniting pipe arrangement is provided with a third valve configured to control the transportation of ore slurry to the LT heater and a pressure gauge configured to measure a pressure in the uniting pipe arrangement.
