ABSTRACT:
An automatic cementing system and method are disclosed for precisely controlling the density of a slurry during a continuously mixed cement application. The system includes an input water line and a dry cement hopper for supplying water and dry cement, respectively, to a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber includes two chambers, Chamber A and Chamber B, for thoroughly mixing the water and cement together to form a cement slurry. Chamber B includes a level sensor for measuring the change in slurry level. The input line includes a pump for supplying the water to the mixing chamber, and a flow meter for measuring the rate at which the water is supplied. Similarly, the hopper includes a rotary valve for regulating the rate at which the dry cement is supplied to the mixing chamber and a speed sensor for measuring the speed of the rotary valve. A discharge line with a discharge pump and a discharge flow meter receives and discharges cement slurry. A recirculation line is included for density control during initialization. A system controller receives operational parameters from the operator, including desired slurry density, mix water density and dry cement density. Once the rate of the input pump is set, the controller monitors the output from the level sensor in Chamber B and adjusts the rotary valve until the level of slurry in Chamber B is constant. At that time, the amount of water leaving the system as slurry is calculated by the controller, and the controller then sets the rate of the input pump based upon this calculation.
