OIL FIELD DRILLING FLUID

 

Background/Requirement

  Guar gum, a high viscosity thickener, highly hydrophilic and difficult-to-disperse without fisheyes
  Gum dispersion is pumped into the wells to displace oil for recovery from porous rock
  High capacity, single-pass dispersion into hot or cold water

Quadro's Approach

  ZC3 in-line disperser, skid mounted with a discharge PD pump arrangement for performance with high viscosities and high solids addition rates
  Simple VFD pump control to provide :
   
  Variable backpressure on ZC3 disperser controlling powder incorporation rate
  Steady control of discharge concentration
  Positive delivery of viscous gum dispersion to downstream processing
  Powder feed system to maintain full charge in powder hopper
  High/low level hopper detection with automated powder valve actuation
