Abstract:
Vessels including an enclosure having an outer perimeter and an interior space, a channel disposed in the interior space, a first port disposed on a surface of the first enclosure at or proximate to a first end of the channel, and a second port disposed on a surface of the first enclosure at or proximate to a second end of the channel, where the channel has a length greater than the shortest distance between the first port and the second port, and where the first port and the second port are in fluid communication with one another.
Abstract:
Process for improving inline mineral slurries treatment comprising successively: • - providing an in-line flow of slurries (2) in a main stream (1); • - introducing at least one polymer into the main stream through at least one polymer injection point (3) to cause dispersion of the polymer and to start the coagulation and/or the flocculation of slurries (treated slurries); • - splitting the main stream containing treated slurries into two streams respectively : • o a discharge stream (4) which directly transfers a part of treated slurries to the deposit area, • o a split stream (6) which reintroduces the other part of treated slurries into the main stream through at least a reinjection point (7) in a location prior to the at least one polymer injection point.
Abstract:
A mobile and transportable apparatus which can move and/or be moved to specific hydraulic fracking sites, and at such locations, mix together fluid and solid material component parts of a fracking slurry to form an optimal fracking slurry, maintain a fracking slurry in optimal condition for use, and deliver an optimal fracking slurry to appropriate receiving apparatus at a hydraulic fracking site.
Abstract:
A system and an associated method for starting up stirring machines in a sediment in a controlled manner are provided, which system has the following: a container (1) for receiving materials to be processed; a stirring-element device with stirring-element blades (3) for stirring the materials to be processed in the container; a flushing device; and a device (2) for operating stirring machines. The flushing device is arranged in such a way and set up so as to feed medium to a sediment which is formed in order to flush the sediment free. Furthermore, a controller (10) is provided which causes controlled re-starting of stirring machines after the free flushing operation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixing and delivery method, arrangement, and pump for supplying small particles suspended in a liquid to form slurry for delivery. The arrangement comprises a container (1), a mixing and delivery pump (2) having a first shaft (3), a rotor (6) connected the first shaft (3) and arranged at an inner bottom (26) of an inner space (25) of the container (1), a first power means (7) connected to the first shaft (3), and a stator (8) having stator blades (9). The stator (8) surrounds the first shaft (3). The arrangement comprises a pump means (10) having an inlet (16), which is located in a stator space (30) between two stator blades (9), and an outlet (17), and an outlet pipe (21) having a second inlet opening (22) connected to the outlet (17) and a second outlet opening (23) located outside the inner space (25).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for a mixing system with a recirculation pump and a sensor configured to measure a property of a fluid discharged from the recirculation pump, wherein the sensor may transmit the property to a control system to allow an operator to adjust the mixing system in response to changes in the measurement signal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for mixing a flocculant composition with mineral suspensions, especially waste mineral slurries, using an acoustic mixer. Preferably the flocculant composition is a polymeric flocculant composition preferably comprising a poly(ethylene oxide) homopolymer or copolymer. The process of the present invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of tailings and other waste material resulting from mineral processing, in particular, processing of oil sands tailings.
Abstract:
A slurry mixing system calculates a density of a slurry using measured pressure differential and bulk velocity of the slurry. Slurry from mixing of dry blend and mix fluid enters a one or more tanks having agitators. A pump then pumps the slurry from the tank(s) to the well, and a portion of the slurry is recirculating back to a mixer. From the recirculated path, a direct slurry weight sensor measures a pressure differential of the slurry between two vertical measurement points of a known volume, and the sensor measures a velocity of the recirculated slurry. Based on these measures, the controller calculates a density of the slurry, monitors a ratio of the dry blend and the mix fluid, and adjusts the ratio based on the calculated density of the slurry if there is a discrepancy.
Abstract:
Es werden ein System und ein zugehöriges Verfahren zum gesteuerten Anfahren von Rührwerken in einem Sediment zur Verfügung gestellt, welches System folgendes aufweist: einen Behälter zur Aufnahme von zu verarbeitenden Stoffen; eine Rührorganvorrichtung mit Rührorganblättern zum Rühren der zu verarbeitenden Stoffe in dem Behälter; eine Spüleinrichtung; und eine Einrichtung zum Betreiben von Rührwerken. Die Spüleinrichtung ist derart angeordnet und dazu eingerichtet, einem sich gebildeten Sediment Mittel zum Freispülen des Sediments zuzuführen. Weiterhin ist eine Steuerung vorgesehen, die eine gesteuerte Wiederinbetriebnahme von Rührwerken nach dem Freispülen veranlasst.
