Since 1991, Ihe coal log pipeline ICLP, has been under exlensive research and development at Capsule Pipeline Research Center (CPRC), University of Missouri-Columbia. Such M&D includes hydrodynamics (steady and unsteady flow), coal log abrasion (wear) in pipe, drag reduction in coal log flow, injection and ejection of coal logs, pumping of coal logs trough pipe, manufacturing of coal logs, economics of CLP, and legal issues of using coal pipelines in the United States. This paper briefly summarizes the 10-year study results. It also describes the latest developments focused on the construction and testing of a complete experimental system of CLP-the pilot plant. Advantages in future use of CLP includes lower cost of coal transports and greater environmental benefits such as elimination of air pollution by coal dust during handling, transport and storage. The CLP technology is ready for use in certain commercial projects. To be successful, any commercial project must include a detailed feasibility study conducted by a qualified engineering firm, and testing of the coal logs in the pilot plant.
