Hydrotransport pipelines are essential to the transportation of slurries in the oil sands industry in Canada. Pipelines transport thousands of tons of bitumen slurries along with sand and clay every hour. They are necessary to deliver the mixture from the mine to the bitumen extraction and the upgrading plants for final conversion into synthetic crude oil. Although slurry pipelines are efficient and economical, a remaining issue is the relative short life-time of the pipes due to surface wear caused by the progressive removal of pipe material by the impact of millions of solid particles.

在加拿大的油砂工业中，水力输送管道对矿浆的输送至关重要。管道每小时运送数千吨沥青浆以及沙子和粘土。它们是将混合物从矿山输送到沥青提取和升级厂以最终转化为合成原油所必需的。尽管泥浆管道是高效和经济的，但仍然存在一个问题，即管道的寿命相对较短，这是由于数百万固体颗粒的冲击导致管道材料的逐渐去除而导致的表面磨损。
