Technical specifications

1.1

General
3

The installation consists of eight (4) high volume type bulk tanks, 2 with a volume of 35 m and 2 with a
3
3
volume of 45 m with a total filling volume of 160m .

A diagram of the complete bulk system is shown on the flow diagram.

The pneumatic tanks are pressure vessels. Designed primarily for carrying dry materials such as barite
(drilling mud), cement, bentonite and other materials used in drilling operations.

The pressure range varies from 0,0 5,6 bar.

1.2

Class society

The tanks are certified by ABS, for the following pressure rating:

Working pressure:
Test pressure:
1.3

5.6 Bar
7,3 Bar

Bulktanks

The special design of these tanks ensures the rapid discharging of the complete tank without remaining inside the
tank.

Aeration

In order to unload materials from the tanks, it is necessary to aerate or fluidise the material.
For this purpose, aeration pads are used. When high volume air from the compressor is introduced into the dry
material through the aeration pads, the material becomes entrained with air and will assume some of the
characteristics of water. It will seek its own level and flow to a central low point in the pressure tank.
In this fluidised condition and under pressure, the material will flow through the discharge line from the vessel to any
point within reasonable distance, depending on numerous factors, such as: density of materials, pressures, line sizes,
bends in the line, etc.
