This paper presents the analysis and verification of parameters of hydraulic transport of tailings from the plant for the preparation of mineral raw materials of magnetic separation of the mine "Omarska" for 2016. For the purpose of transportation of waste sludge from the plant, there is a pipeline of length 5,47 km which connects the sludge pump station and the waste dump lake "Gradina".
On the basis of the calculated for the transport of tailings by pipelines to the waste dump as well as the efficiency of the pumping plant, the possibilities of using a pipeline of a smaller diameter in relation to the already installed Ø177,2/8 mm were considered. The real condition calculation is verified (or is not) a pump that suitably to actual hydraulic transport conditions and installed pipeline.
