Burn Pit - Important Design Considerations

What are the major design considerations of a burn pit?
How can one know that the one available suits the requirements? Or that may have been over-designed or under-designed?

Re: Identification of drillstring tool failure

Monitor surface parameters first which are the early warning signs.
Key indicators to watch include:
1. Torque Changes
Sudden increase > possible tight hole, tool damage, differential sticking
Sudden drop > tool joint failure, twist-off, connection failure
2. Weight on Bit (WOB) Abnormalities ...

Re: Controlling Amine Ratio

It depends on Ammonia to Ethylene Oxide ratio.
With high ammonia there would be more MEA and with low, more DEA and TEA.

Re: Predicting ESP Failure

Engineers monitor Amps, Voltage, Motor temperature, Intake/discharge pressure, Vibration, and Production rate trend.
You can say just like any other submersible pump in operation.
Trend analysis helps predict failure before it happens.

Re: Separator foaming - role of corrosion inhibitor

On the avoidance, you must monitor the dose (should not be anybody's guess).
Base that on water cut, flow rate, corrosivity, and temperature.
That has to be like ppm in water phase not just like L/hr.
The changes in the dose are required to be made in small increments, and observe separator ...

Re: The Right Check Valve

Yes, it is the gravity which plays against us while the swing check valve is in vertical position. Disc itself can have partial opening on top of gravity acting against.
Lift check valves are preferred if in any case a check valve is required to be installed on a vertical run. They do not depend on ...
