Almost any material can be sent through a pipeline using dilute phase, suspension flow. Doesn't matter if it's big, small, round, square – you name it! We call it suspension flow because the particles kind of hang out in the air as they zoom through the pipeline, either getting blown or sucked along. It needs some oomph in speed, which can mean higher power needs, but hey, there's pretty much no limit to what you can send this way!
We've got two ways things move in this mode. One is what we call "moving bed flow," where the material travels in little dunes along the bottom of the pipeline. Picture it like sand dunes in a desert, but inside a pipeline! Then there's the "slug" or "plug" type flow, where the material moves as big chunks separated by air gaps. You might see this if you peek through a sight glass in a horizontal pipeline – it's like watching blocks of stuff move along.
