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.

The impact of corrosion on society is enormous. The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) estimated that the global total cost of corrosion is ~$2.5 trillion (USD), approximately 3.4% of global GDP.1 In 2016, NACE released the “International Measures of Prevention, Applications, and Economics of Corrosion Technology” which estimates that implementing corrosion prevention best General Business practices could result in global savings between 13-15 percent of the cost of damage, or a savings between $375-875 billion (USD) annually on a global basis.

The formation of mineral scales is one of the most problematic threats to the oil and gas operations which can lead to loss of production, increased lifting costs and assets deterioration.1 Mineral scales can precipitate at any locations within an oil and gas production system and create blockage in perforations, production tubulars, pumps, and surface equipment. The formation of scale deposits can be attributed to the mixing of incompatible waters from different production zones or physical and chemical condition changes associated with produced water transporting from reservoir to wellhead and further to processing facilities.

One can find some of the most aggressive and corrosive environments for coatings in the process work and equipment functions for Oil and Gas Upstream facilities. These conditions have typically been handled using traditional coating options such as vinyl esters, epoxies, or baked phenolic linings. While these products are often tailored to environments with elevated temperatures and pressures found within upstream and “downhole” oil and gas production, the inception of new drilling techniques and the discovery of new shale basins has morphed the landscape of corrosive environments in this market.
