Guideline for Emulsified Sulfur Pumping System

We'll be pumping ~67% emulsified sulfur from one tank into another. I've been told the viscosity can be as high as 10,000 cP however, I need the flow behavior index (n, unitless) to accurately model it in our hydraulic software.

Absent that information, are there any general guidelines (e.g. typical line velocities or head requirements) I could use to size the piping and pump motor? The pump will be a hose/peristaltic pump

Perhaps a handbook exists with some of this information?

Thanks in advance,
