PIPELINES AND TRANSPORTATION

Pipeline transport is the transportation of goods through a pipe. Liquids and gases are transferred in pipes and any chemically stable substance can be sent all through a pipeline. Pipes exist for the transport of crude and refined petroleum, fuels - such as oil, natural gas and biofuels - and other fluids including sewage, slurry, water, and beer. Pipelines are suitable for carrying water for imbibing or irrigation over long distances when it wants to move over hills, or where canals or channels are poor choices due to considerations of dehydration, pollution, or environmental impact.
