Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate thinking differently.
I could probably have the 500' or 700' or 1,000' necessary. Each case will be different. I could likely fashion a radius like you mentioned and figure out how to attach it to the wellhead. It's possible I could find a way to...
I'm familiar with PE in that we use it for horizontal flow lines. Quite a few miles of it installed. But I don't have the equipment to reel it back in. The unreeling is a pretty passive process from the point of view of the reel. Reeling it back in will require a motor and controls and such...
For non-potable water production. Currently one well at 500’ and another (different location) at 700’. Others will follow at currently unknown depths, thus the desire to have a general design understanding.
The casing can be fused. That is a fine approach.
The production tubing will be removed...
Can someone point me to theory or research on the tensile strength of threaded PVC connections? I'd like to estimate how deep I can use threaded PVC hanging vertically in a well, as the casing and as the production tubing (different sizes, of course). The casing might be on the order of 6" or...
Thanks to @bimr and @cloa for the replies.
I did finally run across this reference:
"Dissolution Rates of NaCl and KCL in Aqueous Solutions", B. Simon, Journal of Crystal Growth, 52 (1981), 789-794
Additionally, Morton (salt) has some rules of thumb for designing brining tanks.
Interesting...
@bimr,
The article from DOT Ohio is just the sort of thing I am looking for. That particular article did turn up in my previous search. Note that is does not deal with changing temperature or any of the intermediate concentrations before saturation. It does make clear that the method of...
@bimr,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I think I do understand how a brinemaker works, at least in a gross way. It is the specific details that I am after in this thread. You see, your suggestion assumes that the water taken off the bottom is saturated. That "available flowrate" is what I am...
@cloa,
Thanks for this. The ScienceDirect paper may have useful info. Somehow I did not find that in my previous search.
I checked the Salt Institute but didn't find anything as technical as I require. I appreciate the suggestion.
@cloa
You are correct to mention this. It's hard to put all of the details into the original request.
You can assume that I will be using finely granular salt and that we will be stiring the tank. I imagine using an eductor to introduce the salt into the water stream rather than dumping it...
@bimr
Thanks, but that does not address my issue. I need Rate of Dissolution data. You see, I am making the briner. It's TIME that is important. I need accurate, known concentrations that are consistant throughout the year so I don't have to reprogram the process controls all of the time...
Thanks for taking a minute to try to help.
I am aware that the solubility of salt (NaCl) in water is 26% to 28% depending upon temperature.
But what I would like to know is how FAST the salt will dissolve (at a given temperature). I will need to do the same thing for anhydrous sodium...
