Pipeline transport ethanol in Brazil, and there are several ethanol pipeline projects in Brazil and the United States. The main problems related to the transport of ethanol by pipeline are its corrosive nature and tendency to absorb water and impurities in pipelines, which are not problems with oil and natural gas. Insufficient volumes and cost-effectiveness are other considerations limiting construction of ethanol pipelines. Slurry pipelines are sometimes used to transport coal or ore from mines. The material to be transported is closely mixed with water before being introduced to the pipeline; at the far end, the material must be dried. One example
Escravos–Lagos Pipeline System Warri Gas Treatment Plant to Egbin tee at PS4 near Lagos is 36 inches. The diameter of the section from Escravos to Warri and from Egbin Tee to Alagbado Tee at PS5 is 24 inches. The capacity of the pipeline is 800 MMsfd do not meet expected gas consumption demand. By 24 inches tee in Itoki: By tee to Oben - Geregu pipeline ELPS can supply also Geregu I and II power stations and Ajaokuta steel mills ELPS carry also a volume of 170MMscfd for West African Gas Pipeline.
