A method and system for providing a homogenized slurry output comprises a container body defining an interior portion, a discharge for supplying the slurry from the container body to a downstream source and at least one inlet in fluid communication with a pressurized supply of slurry for introducing the slurry into the interior portion of the container body in a circulation pattern that creates a homogenized mixture of slurry in the interior portion of the body.

Container system

A technique facilitates mixing operations by removing foaming that results from air entrained during mixing of constituents. A mixing system comprises a container body having an interior and an inlet through which material enters the interior for mixing. The container body also comprises a discharge through which the mixed material is delivered downstream. A mechanical foam breaker is disposed within the container body and extends upwardly a sufficient distance to extend through a surface level to which the material rises during mixing within the container body. The mechanical foam breaker is oriented to break down foam along the surface of the material as the material moves through the interior.

System for reducing foam in mixing operations

A configurable hydraulic system facilitates a variety of oilfield cementing and other oilfield or related applications. The system employs a plurality of prime movers to drive a plurality of loads. The plurality of prime movers and loads are coupled with a configurable hydraulic system that maintains a separate, sealed hydraulic system associated with each prime mover. The configurable hydraulic system also enables the load configuration driven by each prime mover to be changed without losing the benefit of a separate, sealed hydraulic system associated with each specific prime mover.
