Caustic Mixing Unit
Overview
Cameron’s caustic mixing unit (CMU) streamlines the three
stages - sack cutting, fluidizing, and dosing - of adding
caustic material into the drilling fluids system.
The CMU features an air-tight cutting cabinet that prevents
caustic dust from entering the operator work area. A pair
of integrated heavy-duty work gloves eliminates the chance
of direct contact with the caustic material during sack
handling operations.
The holding tank can store up to 350 L of liquid, making
it easy for operators to mix and store caustic fluid for
more than one job.
An air-powered, no stall, double-diaphragm pump provides
drive for both circulation and discharge jobs. All operation
and monitoring is done locally. Manually operated ball
valves are used to line up for fill, discharge, and draining
operations.
The CMU is designed to be a fully-transportable unit with
integrated forklift supports to enable safe, quick and
hassle-free relocation whenever required. Readying the
unit for operation is a quick and straightforward process
that does not require any special tools.
