Pumps for new housing in Stockholm
Grindex new series of dewatering pumps are designed to last three times longer in abrasive applications compared to previous pump generations. In this case study from Sweden, they are up for a tough test. One of the critical factors for the building of 3,000 new homes within a few years are the seven submersible dewatering pumps from Grindex installed deep in the bedrock below south Stockholm. ...

Village Drill: The Portable Water Well Drill
The National Academy of Engineering declared that having access to clean water is still one of the 14 grand challenges of the 21st century. In many regions of the world men and women spend hours every day seeking out and carrying back water to their homes. This water is often filled with bacteria that can lead to illness and even death. The World Health Organization reported that roughly 3.4 ...

Common challenges relative to the use of Decanter Centrifuges for barite recovery in the oil & gas industry
When centrifuges are properly deployed, they can have dramatic effects on drilling performance. In fact, without them, many of the advances made in drilling would not have been considered achievable. Classically, we believe that centrifuges can achieve two common goals: Reduce the content of drilled fines, specifically colloidal solids, and Perform barite recovery in order to reduce drilling ...

The Application of Waste Solids Management Vertical Cuttings Dryers as an integral element of a successful Solids Control System
In Elgin’s last White Paper, “Common Challenges Relative to the Use of Decanter Centrifuges for Barite Recovery in the Oil & Gas Industry,” a detailed discussion was offered about the complexities involved in achieving effective solids control when deploying a dual-centrifuge “barite recovery” system. As noted in that report, when centrifuges are properly used, ...

Grindex pumps bedrock for more trains
Dewatering a big tunnelling project demands both reliable dewatering pumps and a well planned sedimentation system. This case study from the Swedish railway project Ådalsbanan shows a good example of this. Ådalsbanan is one of the biggest railway projects in Sweden and comprises investments of 6600 MSEK. It stretches as far as 130 kilometres, from the city of Sundsvall to the ...

Optimizing drilling efficiencies with a solids control system
The correct solids control system can improve drilling rig efficiency, reduce costs and minimize the environmental footprint of your operation Although the use of drilling fluids within the HDD / trenchless industry is still relatively new, recent trends suggest that this standard is shifting as solids control is one of the most important phases in the drilling process. This shift is due to a ...

Centrifuge Technology in Drilling Fluid Recycling
Drilling fluid additives and the water that contains them are an essential part and expense of successfully completing a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) installation, and the longer the bore and larger the product being installed, the more drilling fluids cost. Therefore, it makes economic sense to recycle drilling fluids by removing cuttings and recirculating the cleaned fluids. HDD ...

Drill King International is exploring reverse-circulation drilling opportunities in Chile
The new XT RC50 hammer from Drill King International completed drilling trials at the beginning of August 2016. This 5in (127mm) reverse-circulation (RC) hammer is the first one from the XT (Extreme Torque) series, introduced by the down-the-hole (DTH) drilling equipment manufacturer from Texas, US. The XT RC hammer series will complement Drill King's extensive line of DTH air- and water-powered ...
