1) General Information
Mixing chemical additives into drilling mud is a critical process that has significant impact on the
overall time and cost of drilling a well. The Alfa Laval Vortex Lobestar® Shear Mixer is an
advanced, yet simple mixer that vastly outperforms traditional mud mixing hoppers. The shear-
mixer is nearly impossible to plug and has the highest additive loading rate of any venturi style
mixer.
1.1. Basic Equipment
The Alfa Laval Vortex Lobestar® Shear Mixer consists of a single or dual suction port Lobestar
Mixing Eductor® with a Radial Premixer. The basic configuration includes a heavy duty,
stainless steel, parabolic, table top hopper with support legs. The entire assembly is mounted
on a skid base for easy transport and placement, and the standard inlet and discharge
connections are grooved end piping with grooved style couplings. The typical shear-mixer size
for drilling applications is 6 inches and is dependent on the rig mud system volumes or the
desired mud processing rate. A properly sized centrifugal feed pump is necessary for a shear
mixer to perform as designed.

1.2. Features
The Alfa Laval Vortex Lobestar® Shear Mixer provides these key features:
 Simple robust design, no moving parts

 Low maintenance with easy to replace internals
 Highest product addition rate of any venture mud hopper
 Easily handles difficult to mix mud additives
 Reduces product waste
 Highly customizable to fit specific rig applications
 High quality materials of construction
It also features a number of exclusive advantages that lead to abundant cost savings – related
to both chemical additives and time, including:
 Dynamically shears chemical additives into the fluid

 Pre-wets difficult to mix additives such as bentonite or polymers
 Prevents the formation of fish eyes or microgels
 Equipped with easily replaceable inserts
1.3. Working Principle
Drilling mud is pumped at a high rate through the replaceable Lobestar® Mixing Nozzle® insert
– found inside the Lobestar Mixing Eductor® sub-component of the shear-mixer.
Lobestar Mixing Nozzle®
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 6
The resulting pressure drop across the nozzle creates a high velocity fluid stream and
generates an incredibly strong vacuum for maximum solid or liquid additive loading. The
Lobestar Mixing Nozzle® produces multiple jet streams, each of which consists of a core with
oscillating vortex rings that expand into overlapping plumes. This flow pattern results in a highly
energized fluid boundary layer, promoting turbulent, dynamic fluid shearing, rapid hydration of
additives, and uniform dispersion. The specialized diffuser insert found downstream of the
nozzle helps recover the maximum amount of available pressure lost across the nozzle. This
allows the mixed fluid to be transported greater distances and up higher elevations through the
piping, downstream of the mixer, and back to the mud pits.
The Radial Premixer sub-component of the system is used to “pre-wet” chemical additive
particles, preventing clumps of additive particles from appearing in the mixed fluid as fish eyes
or microgels. Fluid is passively diverted from the primary inlet of the shear-mixer to the Radial
Premixer where a swirling flow pattern is created, generating a fluid vortex.
Radial Premixer
This vortex disperses additive particles evenly into a low pressure, swirling eye of fluid,
effectively pre-wetting them before they are sheared into the drilling mud by the Lobestar Mixing
Nozzle®.

3) Installation
The Lobestar® Shear Mixer has no moving parts. The four (4) major components of the
Lobestar® Shear Mixer are:
(1) Hopper,
(2) Valve,
(3) Radial Premixer, and
(4) Lobestar® Mixing Eductor.
The Lobestar® Mixing Eductor is composed of:

(1) Jet Nozzle,
(2) Suction Inlet,
(3) Mixing Chamber, and
(4) Conical Diffuser.
The orientation of the Lobestar® Shear Mixer is an important consideration for suitable
performance. The direction of flow is from the Jet Nozzle inlet end to the diffuser discharge end.
The pressure line (hose or pipe) from the centrifugal pump is connected to the Jet Nozzle end of
the Eductor. The Diffuser end of the Eductor is connected to the downstream hose or pipe that
is routed to the active fluids system.
The Lobestar® Shear Mixer is designed around a streamline flow stream. A streamline flow is
based on a constant uninterrupted flow. This means that any downstream obstruction will
decrease the Eductor efficiency.
To install the Alfa Laval Shear Mixer, adhere to the following guidance:
1. Insure the centrifugal feed pump can deliver 115 feet of head at 500+ gpm to the
Lobestar® mixer. To determine equivalent pressure for 115 feet of head, use PSI = 6 X
Fluid weight. For water, that is 6 x 8.34 = 50 psi or greater for the mixer to perform as
designed.
2. Minimum straight pipe discharge. To prevent backflow as well as maximize fluid
discharge rate and distant, the discharge piping can have no route deviations or pipe
fittings, including valves, within the equivalent length of 6 pipe diameters after the
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 10
Lobestar® mixer. For example, for a 6 inch mixer, immediately downstream of the mixer
should be 36 inches of uninterrupted straight pipe.
NOTE: For maximum performance, piping should have as few 90º elbows as
possible, to limit loss of head.
3. Downstream pipe should always be as large as or larger than the pipe diameter of the
mixing educator.
4. Install on a level flat surface.
5. Secure skid base to deck.
3.1. Installation Considerations
To ensure optimal performance when installing the Alfa Laval Vortex Shear Mixer:
1) Insure that the pressure side of the centrifugal pump is connected to the Jet Nozzle end of
the eductor.
2) Insure that the pipe or hose size should be as large as or larger than the model size of the
educator (i.e. a 4” Shear Mixer, needs to have downstream pipe of 4” or larger)
3) Minimize downstream obstructions in the downstream pipe, such as valves.
4) When deviating the downstream pipe route, the first pipe fitting should be a least six (6)-pipe
diameters from the discharge end of the eductor.
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 11
3.2. Integration to facility piping
The entire assembly is mounted on a skid base for easy transport and placement, and the
standard inlet and discharge connections are grooved end piping with grooved style couplings.
The typical shear-mixer size for drilling applications is 6” or 4” and is dependent on the rig mud
system volumes or the desired mud processing rate. See Appendix C for attaching pipe
specification and clamp installation.
4) Operation
To insure proper operation of the Alfa Laval Lobestar® mixer with table hopper and bulk product
delivery, the following instructions provide direction to be included with overall rig mud mixing
procedures.
These procedures are not stand alone. The instructions for mixer operation only complement
existing rig mud mixing procedures and should be incorporated using prevailing HSE
requirements and guidelines for the specific area of the rig and drilling fluid operations.
The following procedures are for mixer operation only and DOES NOT INCLUDE nor intend to
provide direction for overall mixing operations such as but not limited to dust collection or
prevention, mechanical and manual lifting, chemical sack handling, hazard material handling,
PPE selection, bulk hopper volume management, or determining necessary quantities or
volume of drilling fluid additives. Rig procedures must be followed for all peripheral activities.
Following the mixer operation procedures listed below and keeping a regular preventive
maintenance, including inspecting the entire hopper and replacing worn parts, will keep the
mixer running reliably and efficiently. See Appendix B for illustrated references to prepared
spares kits for easily managed regular maintenance.
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 12
Hopper Operation
Personnel not experienced with operating mud mixing equipment will be unable to recognize
problems that may be corrected by adjusting procedures or methods. Familiarity with the
equipment and competency to operate it can reduce operating time and prevent downtime from
resulting from incorrect operation. Essential training on procedures specific to the rig’s
equipment and configuration can help provide that competency.
ALV has operation recommendations to include in existing rig procedures:
1. Include gauge reading checks before and during operation.

2. Include circulation time before, during, and after mixing chemicals.
3. Evacuate all chemical from all parts of the mixer and bulk delivery line into the mixer
after completing EVERY mixing operation to clear the line and prevent plugging.
Safety precautions should always be taken to mitigate any potential injuries when operating Alfa
Laval Vortex equipment. When operating the Alfa Laval Vortex Lobestar® Shear Mixer take the
following preventative steps:
1) Always wear eye protection while mixing and proper PPE for chemical additions.
2) The hopper suction has strong vacuum - care should be taken when mixing chemical, keep
hands away from suction throat of hopper.
3) Do not exceed maximum pressure of 100 psi.
4) While feed pump is running, NEVER! close a valve downstream of the mixer.

6.5. Lobestar® mixer reassembly
THOROUGHLY CLEAN ALL PARTS BEFORE REASSEMBLY. THE INSIDE OF BULK FEED LINE COMPONENTS
MUST BE DRY BEFORE REASSEMBLY!
To correctly reassemble the Lobestar® mixer, insert the diffuser tube into the correct end of the extension pipe.
The correct end has a thinner clamping lip than the other end.
To reassemble the three mixer body parts, stand the

diffuser extension on end with the diffuser inserted
and the diffuser lip on the floor. The end of the
diffuser will protrude from the top. Put a clamp
gasket around the top of the stainless steel diffuser
extension (not shown in photo).
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 26
Check which way to place the universal body onto the diffuser extension. Use the other mixer for reference, or
assess the fluid flow direction. With the diffuser extension standing up as described, flow is downward.
Assemble the pieces together such that the open 4” straight stub will point to the surge tank.
Place the universal body onto the diffuser extension.

The orange diffuser protruding from the top will
insert into the universal body.
Insert the nozzle into the universal body with nozzle

orifice end facing downward. Only the nozzle lip
should extend outside the universal body. Put a
clamp gasket around the top of the metal universal
body
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 27
Place the correct end of the extension pipe on top

of the universal body. The 2” stub must be on top
and the gauge stub on the bottom nearest the
universal body.
For the extension pipe to universal body connection,

the nozzle lip is be sandwiched between the ends.
THIS IS A CRITICAL CONNECTION. IT MUST BE DONE
CORRECTLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE NOZZLE
AND MIXER FAILURE.
SEE APPENDIX E FOR ADDITIONAL CLAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 28
For each connection, move the clamp gasket over the area where the pipe ends meet, in between the clamp
groves.
Correctly align the clamp to the pipe grooves, over

the gasket and within the pipe grooves for the
clamp.
THIS IS A CRITICAL CONNECTION. IT MUST BE

DONE CORRECTLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
NOZZLE AND MIXER FAILURE..
The clamp MUST be contained within the pipe

grooves. With the mixer body components on top
of one another, you may need to lift up slightly on
the components to get the clamp inside the
groove.
THIS IS A CRITICAL CONNECTION. IT MUST BE

DONE CORRECTLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
NOZZLE AND MIXER FAILURE.
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 29
Align the 2” stub of the extension pipe to the top

center of the mixer assemble, centered between the
hopper and surge tank delivery ports into the
universal body.
Tighten the clamps down completely so the clamp

halves meet to make sure they are correctly installed
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 30
Next, loosen the clamps just enough to allow the

components to rotate within the clamps without the
clamps slipping out of the clamp grooves. The
rotating movement may be needed to align the
components while reassembling and aligning the

The mixer and manifold pipes may not easily fall

into alignment:
 The manifolds by “relax”, making the gap

that the mixer fits into to tight or too
narrow.
 The clamps will not correctly install if the
pipes are too much out of alignment.
By manipulation or modification, fit the mixer into

the gap so the feed and discharge ends mate flush
together
As a rule of thumb, if the alignment is off by more

than the thickness of the pipe, additional action is
certainly necessary to correctly install a clamp. Even
closer concentric alignment is recommended.

By manipulation or modification, align the pipes

enough to correctly install the gaskets and clamps.
DO NOT loosen or remove the clamps holding the
mixer component parts together!
A slight misalignment is OK IF THE CLAMP CAN BE

CORRECTLY INSTALLED. Even closer concentric
alignment is recommended.

Revision 02

Q&A
1) What is an Eductor?
An eductor is a pump without moving parts. An eductor is principally synonymous with a jet
pump. They operate on the conversion of pressure energy into velocity to produce a low-
pressure region.
2) How are they used?
They are used for the conveyance, compression and mixing of liquids, gases and solids when a
gaseous or liquid medium serves as the motive or primary force.
3) What components make up an Eductor or Jet Pump?
A. Motive nozzle
B. Induction passage (suction)
C. Mixing chamber
D. Diffuser (pressure recovery tube).
4) How does the LOBESTAR® MIXING EDUCTOR differ from a conventional Eductor?
“LOBESTAR®” MIXING EDUCTOR differs by using a unique three-dimensional nozzle that

creates shear unmatched by conventional hoppers. The nozzle orifice configuration has a
circular core with elliptic shaped lobes around the radius of the circular core. This nozzle
geometry generates a coherent turbulent flow pattern that energizes the boundary in the diffuser
section of the eductor, providing efficient pressure recovery and intimate mixing in a short time to
length scale.
5) How is the efficiency of an Eductor/Jet Pump determined?
A. Vacuum/inlet pressure ratio

B. Pressure recovery
6) What is the maximum solids-to-liquid concentration that can be expected?
Several pounds of solids per gallon liquid depending on the flow characteristics, bulk density and
required solubility.
7) What type of valve is used with an eductor?
Slide gate, ball and butterfly valve are suitable. If powdered polymers are mixed, slide gate
valves are recommended to avoid passage obstruction. Valves should never be used for dosing
or metering control.
8) Why is a valve needed?
A valve is necessary to prevent flow-back caused from blockage or high pressure-drop that may
cause a "stall" in the downstream flow. It is used in start-up and shut down to prevent surges. It is
also needed where the discharge line is at a higher elevation than the eductor.
www.alfalaval.com
Revision 02
Page 49
9) What effect does viscosity of the motive liquid have on the performance of the eductor?
The lower the viscosity the greater the vacuum. Viscosity over 750 centipoises will significantly
reduce the suction flow. The vacuum can control the rate of induction of feed and mix.
10) In what ways can an eductor be fed?
A. Manual dosing
B. Volumetric feeder
C. Pneumatic feeder
D. Mechanical conveyer.
11) Can a slurry be re-circulated after mixing?
Yes. Remember, the higher the viscosity becomes, the lower the suction if powder is continued
to be feed into the system.
12) What line velocity should be used in the downstream pipe?
6-8 ft/sec. should be considered a minimum.
13) What important factors should be considered in successfully operating an Eductor?
A. Matching-up a pump with the size eductor to be used to achieve 115 feet of head and 500+ gpm
for a 6 inch eductor
B. Minimize downstream elbows in the piping.
C. Discharge pipe should always be as large as or larger than the diameter of the eductor.
D. Survey piping for restrictions or possible blockage.
14) What is the importance of a centrifugal pre-wet chamber [Premixer]?
A. The centrifugal force imparted on the mixture prevents lumping and "fisheyes".
B. It also maintains a level of liquid on the induction inlet (suction) that will create a water seal,
reducing air entrainment. When powders or solids are added through the suction port, free air is
entrained into the mixture. The entrained air bubbles in the mixture will continually expand as the
pressure gradient through the pipe approaches atmospheric, causing larger and larger bubbles
that will effectively limit suction flow rate.

CARBON STEEL PIPE - GROOVED VALVES 08.20
VIC®-300 MasterSeal™ Butterfly Valves
SERIES 761
Vic®-300 MasterSeal™ butterfly valves are designed for pressures ranging from vacuum to
300 psi/2065 kPa and for bi-directional, dead end services to full working pressure. The valve
GEAR OPERATOR LEVER LOCK 10-POSITION HANDLE
features a patented seat design that assures full 360° sealing. The pressure-enhanced seat HANDLE WITH MEMORY STOP
compresses to form a larger seating area as the pressure increases. The seat design also
contributes to the low breakaway torque capabilities of the MasterSeal valve.
Available in 2 – 12”/50 – 300 mm sizes the valve is offered with a standard ISO mounting
flange to accept most gear and power actuators. Vic-300 MasterSeal butterfly valves
2 – 6”/50 – 150 mm are offered with a 10-position handle that may be configured for infinite
variable service with memory lock stop and is pad-lockable. Sizes 8”/200 mm valves are
available with a lever lock handle that may be configured for infinite variable service with memory stop and is padlockable. 2 – 12”/50 – 300 mm
sizes are available with a gear operator and can easily be configured into three way assemblies. Vic-300 Masterseal butterfly valves accommodate
2”/50 mm of insulation. An additional 2” neck extension is available when more than 2”/50 mm of insulation is needed. A 4½”/120 mm long Hand
Wheel Input Shaft Extension is available for valve sizes 2 – 8”/50 – 200 mm and a 3½”/90 mm long Hand Wheel Input Shaft Extension is available
for 10 – 12”/25 – 300 mm valve sizes. Note: Hand Wheel Input Shaft Extensions are not for use with Chain Wheels.
Available seats include EPDM for water services to +250°F/+121°C. Vic-300 MasterSeal valves are also offered with permanently lubricated Nitrile
material that is recommended for oil, air, and gas services. For specific material specifications on varied services please request publication 05.01.
For dry gas service, Victaulic recommends the lubricated nitrile option. Valves with standard disc and EPDM seat are UL classified to ANSI/NSF 61.
Victaulic also offers a tamper resistant option for 2 – 8”/50 – 200 mm size Vic-300 MasterSeal butterfly valves.
NOTES:
A padlockable valve refers to those valves which can be padlocked to lockout equipment for preventing inadvertent valve operation. When used in
conjunction with an appropriate lockout/tagout systems, multiple padlocks may be used. The valve may be padlocked either fully open or fully closed.
A tamper resistant option is meant to deter theft, vandalism or other malicious activity. The handles and associated components are assembled with
tamper resistant fasteners which are designed for one time assembly. Attempts to defeat the padlock by partial disassembly of the valve will likely
result in evidence of such activity. The valve may be padlocked either fully open or fully closed.

VALVE TORQUE REQUIREMENTS Source:

These torque values were derived from test data with non-lubricated valves in water at ambient
temperatures with EPDM seals. For other material and service conditions, apply a suitable service
factor.
Torque Factors:
All torque values are for normal conditions (i.e. the valve is operated at least once a quarter, disc
corrosion is expected to be minor, the media is clean and non-abrasive, and the chemical effects
upon the elastomer are minor).
Typical fluid torque factors commonly used in the industry are:

Water: 1.0; Lubricated service: 0.8; Dry gases: Lubricated nitrile “T” seat seals are recommended
for dry gases wherever chemically appropriate. See material torque factor below.
Material Torque Factors:

“E” = 1.0; “O” = 1.2; “T” = 0.8
Cycling Factor:
Torque will typically increase as the valve is cycled. A factor of 1.5 should be applied for the first
5000 cycles and another 1.5 applied for all additional cycles. The higher number should be used
if there are more than one cycle per hour.
Actuation Factor:
There are no actuation safety factors applied. A factor consistent with the consequences of not
actuating should be applied. A minimum factor of 1.2 is recommended for directly actuated valves
and 1.5 for 3-way assemblies.
Combining Torque Factors:

When multiple torque factors apply, they are combined by multiplying them. Example: For an
EPDM seal and a 5000 cycle factor the combined factor would be 1.0 X (1.5) = 1.5.
Note:
Under certain high flow conditions, the hydrodynamic torque can exceed the seating torque. Large
butterfly valves are not recommended for use in a free discharge condition, such as filling an
empty line with fluid at the full rated pressure.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION When installing a Victaulic butterfly valve into a piping system, follow the instructions supplied with
CONSIDERATIONS the coupling. Refer to the notes below for applications/limitations.
When using butterfly valves for throttling service, Victaulic recommends the disc be positioned no
less than 30 degrees open. For best results, the disc should be between 30 and 70 degrees open.
High pipeline velocities and/or throttling with the disc less than 30 degrees open may result in noise,
vibration, cavitation, severe line erosion, and/or loss of control. For details regarding throttling ser-
vices, contact Victaulic.
Victaulic recommends that flow velocities for water service are limited to 20 ft. per sec./6.1 m per
sec. When higher flow velocities are necessary, contact Victaulic. When dealing with flow media
other than water, contact Victaulic.
Victaulic recommends good piping practices and installing the valve five pipe diameters away from
other components.
Victaulic Butterfly Valves are designed with grooved ends for use with grooved pipe couplings. If
flange connections are required, refer to the following notes regarding Vic-Flange Adapter restric-
tions.
• Style 741 Vic-Flange Adapters can be used on all sizes Vic-300 MasterSeal Butterfly Valves.
DO NOT INSTALL BUTTERFLY VALVES • Style 743 Vic-Flange Adapters cannot be used with Vic-300 MasterSeal Butterfly Valves. A
INTO THE SYSTEM WITH THE DISC IN THE No. 46 ANSI 300 groove by flange adapter is required. 0
