The invention uses a line viscometer capable of detecting low-viscosity liquids, the viscosity increased slightly more than the normal fluid viscosity gel is usually handled in the filter. Viscosity reading of the viscometer is connected to a programmable controller, which is activated when the liquid viscosity exceeds the programmed threshold limit settings. The programmable controller can be programmed, do one or more A) stop pump, b) control valves and by-pass filter, directing contaminated fluid is a separate holding tank, where chemical treatments will break the viscous liquid, C) or read the warning on the activities of staff and ) to restore the filter once the liquid returns to below threshold levels.
One additional approach to our invention the heat unacceptably viscous fluid to reduce viscosity before filtration. This is particularly useful where the economic agent does not convey the viscosity significantly reduces heating and viscosity properties rendering re-cooling.
In general, the viscous fluid is less viscous as it is heated, although there are exceptions, depending on the fluid chemistry. Oil and other hydrocarbons and brines typically include not only various salts and other chemicals, but the polymers attached to increase the viscosity of the liquid for various purposes, mainly to strengthen or particles, such as proppants, drill cuttings, sand or debris from the pit stop. Polymeric compounds, such as guar, xanthan, polyacrylamide, cellulose gum, and various derivatives of each commonly used as an oil well fluids viscosifiers and tests based on the typical viscosity of the oil fields of polymer containing fluids generally decreases with rising temperature to see an example
Oilfield fluids, where viscosity is almost always convey the agents are non-Newtonian, the viscosity change of the shear rate function. See Cameron and the entire section of the Proudhomme Gidley et al. The book (184-195 pages. Therefore, another aspect of our invention, the viscosity reduction, which was reached on the viscosity of the treatment agent to convey the liquid can be achieved by the shear-thinning phenomenon is well known, and the procedure is likely to occur when the viscous fluid within the two surfaces, one often moves to the surface of our other objectives, the shear thinning is defined as either a polymer containing a fluid under shear viscosity reduction is not our definition of the purpose of causing physical or shear degradation of the polymer, or a new direction, or deployment of the polymer solution in the main or disruption of crosslinking bonds, or chemical materials such as polymer hydrolysis to change the result. While many, if not the polymers used in oilfield fluids, causing fluid is thixotropic, it is essential to our invention. thixotropic fluid properties associated with the shear viscosity by the reduction . In addition, shear effects may be reversible or irreversible, or only partially reversible when the shear force is removed or if the viscosity reduction, depending on the time to change the viscosity at a given time after the shear force is removed. shearing effect on our advantage to be used to reduce the viscosity of the fluid, which is too viscous, through the filter without fouling early in order to filter out, regardless of physical or chemical mechanism, which causes the viscosity reduction.
Although we have described our invention, in some cases, the use of cavitation device, which is defined below, we may also use a variety of shear-thinning or machines that are not heat expansion. Such devices, in essence, dynamometers (some of them have come to acquire, despite the fact they do not measure the same name) and the water brake. Water service and other types of dynamometers absorb energy to convert the rotor shaft direction of the disturbance and / or shear-thinning water, which is immersed into thermal energy. Description below the shear-thinning may be accompanied by the enlargement of the heating device, or it can be done without significant heating effect, but in other ways. We intend to add or shear thinning or heating devices to reduce the viscosity of the liquid oil fields, as well as devices that are usually performed in the shear-thinning and heating, such as enlargement of the plant. Electric heating devices, the various known types can be used simply to raise the temperature of the liquid, the various heat exchangers operating in the waste transfer heat from the diesel engines, compressors, and how it can be in place.
