How The Right Pot Choice And System Set Up Can Improve Blasting Efficiency Continued

How The Right Pot Choice And System Set Up Can Improve Blasting Efficiency Continued
Available for download

The paper written in 2019 concluded the following; Whilst we may think that all blast pots are the same, these tests show that not to be the case. The design of the pipework, remote control valves and media valves all contribute to the efficiency of the pot. The ability to precisely control the amount of grit being introduced into the airstream gives the operator much more control over grit usage and therefore overall efficiency and hence cost.

In 2019 we looked at the various adjustable parameters that can and do affect the productivity (yardage), media usage and effectiveness of a blasting operation.  Air flow, pressure and nozzle size all contribute to the efficiency and yardage achievable by a blast pot. Pot and valve design will contribute both positively and negatively to these variables but correct set up is imperative for efficient blasting. Improvement in pot and valve designs can lead to huge gains for the blaster and with some simple, logical adjustment and/or upgrades the changes recommended here will help you get the most from your pot.   Since then further tests have been carried out to show that not only can these changes improve our blasting efficiencies but to investigate is there actually a “sweet spot” where we can optimise the efficiency of our blasting systems. This paper discusses these trials and the benefits that can be achieved.

As oilfield technologies have advanced, they have made high temperature (HT) reservoirs more accessible. HTs make the application of chemical more difficult because chemical instability at HT restricts what intermediates will work in these environments and the safety and complexity of HT testing further adds to the challenge.

The purpose of the “Bore Test” is to know the external quality of the coating after the installation of the pipe section, as picture 1. NACE standard “TM-102-2002-SG”1a defines four kinds of coating quality such as: excellent, good, fair and poor. To know the final quality of coating with this procedure. It was used two different electrical tests. DC current test using minimum voltage drop method and, the 3 pole test which is called by the same manufacture of the Multifunction Ground Resistance tester.

Erosion is a major threat to liquid hydrocarbon transmission pipeline integrity when high liquid flow ratesare combined with the presence of solid particles. However, there is currently no generally acceptedguidance document or standard by which liquid petroleum pipeline operators can define maximum allowable velocities to manage the threat of erosion in their pipelines.
