features and Benefits
AERO-32 is an essential aid in all types of air drilling - air,
foam, or mist.
AERO-32 is compatible with fresh water, sea-water, or brine and
produces a rich, long lasting "shaving foam" consistency.
AERO-32 based systems can reduce drill water requirement
and disposal problems by allowing you to switch from water to foam
drilling.
Important Benefits of AERO-32 Foam Drilling
- Exceptional water lift
- Non-damaging to aquifers: leaves low yielding horizons
unimpaired
- Minimal to zero pollution
- Cleans the hole
- Reduced clay sticking and "mud rings"
- Alternative to mud in loss zones and environmentally sensitive
areas
- Increase borehole stability
- Biodegradable
- Requires less air velocity than straight air drilling - which
means less downhole erosion
- Mud pits are not required
- Suppresses dust when added to air stream

How To Use
Formulation:
Straight foam: 5 to 50 litres (depending on water quality and
foam thickness required) of AERO-32 in 1000 litres of water.
AERO-32 can be used in conjunction with TK60 Polymer and/or MX
to create super-stabilising, high-lift and lubricating technical
foams. These require 5 to 25 litres of AE60 plus 1 to 3 kg of TK60
or MX per 1000 litres of water.
Consult Mudtech for more detailed advice on your
requirements.
Application
Inject into airstream as required to generate the required foam
consistency.
NOTE: Straight high-volume air drilling is ideal for dry
formation being drilled at speed, for example in Coal Bed Methane
operations. Where direct venting of air/cuttings returns is
disallowed, eg in built up areas, ask about Mudtech's DELUGE system
for cost effective total containment and disposal of air drilling
spoil.
