UAE outfit ULO Systems has launched a new recirculating jet mixer and high-capacity pump that, it says, can enable grouting up to 75% faster than using traditional mixers.
The recirculating jet mixer has a mixing and pumping capacity of up to 120 metres cubed per hour, the company said.
It can grout and flush two separate annuli via its two holding tanks and water manifolds on one of the skids, while the second skid houses the pumps, ULO Systems added.
The hardware also features two higher-capacity recirculating jet mixers on a single skid, facilitating higher capacities and thicker mixes.
“Two jets feed one mixer drum, creating a much more turbulent vortex for better colloidal dispersion of solids, resulting in a grout that will last as long as the asset’s lifecycle,” the company said.
ULO Systems general manager Colin Reilly said: “ULO Systems has also introduced a new pump to complement the RJM, to further optimise results. Clients are able to choose two variations – a single pump or double pump set up on a single DNV 2.7-1-certified 6M ISO skid.
“The single pump provides three times the capacity of industry-standard pumps, and a double pump performs at four times the capacity.
“Additionally, twin surge tanks, which can be filled from two silos simultaneously, feed cement at a higher rate.
“This new equipment enables our highly-trained personnel to complete grouting work at a pace never before seen.”
