On-the-Fly Acid Blender with High-Rate, Single Pass, Emulsification Equipment

Abstract

An improved method of blending emulsified well treatment fluids comprising providing a first centrifugal pump for pumping a first component of the emulsion well treatment fluid into a pipe; providing a first valve for controlling the flow of the first component of the emulsion well treatment fluid into the pipe; providing a second centrifugal pump for pumping a second component of the emulsion well treatment fluid into the pipe; providing a second valve for controlling the flow of the second component of the emulsion well treatment fluid into the pipe; providing an emulsion mixer loop coupled to the pipe for mixing the emulsion well treatment fluid; and controlling the pumps and the valves so as to control the ratio of the first component of the emulsion well treatment fluid to the second component of the emulsion well treatment fluid being delivered to the pipe.
