AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing fluid displacement systems for boreholes face challenges in efficiently extracting fluids, particularly water, from underground sources due to issues such as solid particle ingress, electrical requirements, and environmental hazards like theft and corrosion, especially in remote or harsh conditions.

Method used

A fluid displacement arrangement using an apertured standpipe, a fluid collection zone, and tubular portions connected to a compressed air source, where compressed air displaces fluid through nested tubular structures, filtering out solids and operating without electrical power, suitable for use in boreholes up to 200 meters deep.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively extracts fluid from deep boreholes, filters out solid particles, operates remotely from the air supply, and is cost-effective, reducing theft and corrosion risks, while being suitable for environments with solids and corrosives.

Abstract

A fluid displacement (10) arrangement including a body (12) including an apertured standpipe (14) having radial apertures (16) through a wall thereof, and a fluid collection zone (18) having an inlet (20) from the standpipe (14) and a valve (22) to control flow of a fluid through the standpipe (14) from a fluid source, into the fluid collection zone (18), a first tubular portion (24), connectable to a compressed air source and terminating with an opening (26) in the fluid collection zone (18), and a second tubular portion (26), extending into the fluid collection zone (18) and terminating in a zone proximal to the valve (28) and arranged in fluid communication with an opening of the first tubular portion (30) and the fluid collection zone (18).
