Ducts

Characteristics

The duct modal uses the force of gravity or mechanical pressure, through ducts to transport granary. It is a non-polluting transport alternative, free of congestions and relatively cheap. In Brazil, the main ducts are:

  • Gas Ducts: uses the force of gravity to transport minerals between the production regions and metallurgies and/or ports. The minerals are propelled by a strong gush of water.
  • Oil Ducts: uses a pumping system to transport crude oil and its byproducts to the port terminals or distribution centers.
