Streszczenie

Za pomocą istniejących systemów rurociągów ciecze i gazy są transportowane na duże odległości - tanio (małe zużycie energii), bezpiecznie, bez kolizji z innymi środkami komunikacji i w sposób mało zagrażający środowisku. W artykule omówiono możliwości wykorzystania tych zalet do transportu rurociągami innych niż płyny dóbr konsumpcyjnych. Omówiono warunki oraz niezbędne do wykonania prace badawcze umożliwiające wdrożenie takiego systemu.

Transport of consumer goods through pipelines

Abstract

The existing systems of gas and liquid pipelines are able to transport them over long distances, environment friendly, safely, at low cost (low energy consumption), and without collisions with other means of transport. The possibilities of the transport of other (not fluid) goods is worth consideration. In the paper the advantages of the pipeline transport have been discussed together with the perspectives of the pipeline transport of the other consumer goods. Finally, the conditions and research necessary to introduce such transport system have been presented.
