1 00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,900 Welcome to the eProcess demonstration video on the eject solid 2 00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:10,700 jetting system. 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,700 This laboratory test setup will use an atmospheric tank to remove 4 00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:18,400 solids from one side of the tank and discharge them to the other side. 5 00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:22,000 Showing the test setup here, dry without solids. 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,200 We're using four hundred twenty microns sand at 11inch and sand depth. 7 00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,200 It will be discharged to the empty side of the tank for slurry 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,650 collection through a hydorcylone. 9 00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:32,554 The test setup here, 10 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,600 shown without water, 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,100 shows eject held in place by a frame connected with the piping and the 12 00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,600 slurry discharge into an empty side of the tank. 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,100 We're using a one-inch eject with a one-inch spray water line. 14 00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,800 A inch-and-a-half discharge line and the test set up 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,600 wet here. Shows the same apparatus submerged in water before. 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,400 we start the testing, 17 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,100 We now start the test procedure introducing water through the spray 18 00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:27,500 line, to fluidize as the sand at the bottom of the tank at the same time. 19 00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:31,100 In this case, as we are using an eductor to evacuate the solids 20 00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:34,900 through the eject. Normally would use separator pressure to drive the 21 00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:41,000 slurry out. The slurry, discharged to the hydrocyclone, on the right to 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,300 allow filling up of the empty side of the vessel and show you what 23 00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:49,100 how the action of the eject is to remove solids from the filled side 24 00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:51,900 of the vessel. The eject is fully operating right now. 25 00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:57,000 As you can see, the surface of the water layers, quite still showing 26 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,800 that an in a three-phase separator. 27 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,700 There would be negligible effect on the whole water interface. 28 00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:06,600 This is a very quiescent controlled removal device of solids from 29 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,900 separator, compared to standard jetting operation. 30 00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:15,000 Looking at this in post test analysis, with the water drained out, you 31 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,600 can see the solids removed below the eject and discharged at the 32 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,200 right into formerly. 33 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,000 the empty side of the tank and looking closer at the eject profile itself. 34 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,500 We have a inverted dish or a cone shape below the eject where the 35 00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:33,900 solids have been removed. 36 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,200 Normally, in a production separator, we would overlap multiple ejects to 37 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600 allow more fully evacuation. 38 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,300 This just shows the profile from one eject. 39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,700 Now we switch the showing, what's going on underneath the water. 40 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,700 When we first turn on the spray followed by the suction. 41 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,400 First we have the spray going on which comes in two fluidized the sand 42 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,900 then the suction is 43 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000 introduced to evacuate the sand out through the middle of the eject. 44 00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:09,200 You can see that the spray does not kick up or push the solids up into 45 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,500 the oil water interface, but allows the solids to be free-flowing and 46 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:17,600 fluidized to be evacuated through the center of the eject is a very 47 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,800 controlled device for solids removal. 48 00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:23,900 Solids are quite free flowing. 49 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,200 In this case are not allowed to cement or accrete together. 50 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,600 By this point in the process, the solids have dropped below 51 00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:37,600 the normal range of solids removal with eject. 52 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,100 We're continuing to show the operation, just to show how it can sweep 53 00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:45,300 a quite quite a wide distance and remove those solids, where most of 54 00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:46,600 the moving water right now. 55 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,000 With some solids, we would normally shut off the operation, but this 56 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,700 is just being shown to 57 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,100 demonstrate the fluid action of the eject under the water. 58 00:03:56,300 --> 00:04:00,700 Showing the same eject in a vertical vessel and a smaller environment. 59 00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,600 We shall shielded vortex sand removal. 60 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,100 How controlled that sand removal is without pushing the sand up into 61 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,500 the oil water interface. 62 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,400 A very controlled process and showing the submerged 63 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,700 eject how quickly it can remove solids from the separating vessel 64 00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:19,700 into the bucket on the left. 65 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:26,500 This is a very efficient and effective method of removing solids from 66 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,700 a collected, vertical or horizontal vessel.
