ABSTRACT The transportation of solids and particulates in an air- filled pipeline is usually over short distances and is normally uncontrolled due to the fluctuations of the pipe- line air pressure, volume and velocity and the cargo speed itself. The application of this mode of transportation has had limited commercial use because of the self- destruction of the cargo itself unless it is considered to be of hard material like sand, gravel, etc. In this invention the air/solid encasement system provides full control over all aspects of the process itself. The cargo particulates are moved swiftly in a large diameter main transport cargo pipeline where it receives its air masses from a parallel pipeline which is intermittently connected to the transport cargo line to produce energized air. The high pressure, high velocity air is introduced in such a manner so as to form an encasement of air around the cargo, thus confining the cargo distribution to the core or centre portion of the transport line. The energized air is com- pletely controlled at will and its operating characteristics may be widely varied to provide an air cushion or encase- ment of delicate particulate which can be transported over long distances without damage to itself. Such a system will have a wide application for cargo transportation like grain, coal and other similar particulates. The system providing flexibility for the changing of cargo, loading and unloading at terminals is accomplished with ease.
