The paper presents a conception of nodules feeder for vertical transport pipeline with main transport pumps located on the mining ship board. It contains the calculation of the main parameters of hydraulic transport using the feeder including determination of the total efficiency and energy consumption of the nodules transport, it describes the principle of the feeder for nodules transport and pump station on the ship including description of the main technology elements and outlines the control method of the entire nodules hydraulic transport technology.
