Blow It Off

By President Mark Davis

During our 2014 seminar in Peace River, Alberta we had several vacuum tankers to use during the program. Occasionally, we encounter folks who don't use a vacuum tanker to its full ability - that was NOT the case in Peace River. But...we were able to grab a couple of good comparison photos showing a vacuum tanker being unloaded by gravity and being unloaded under pressure. If you run a vacuum tanker it is important to "blow" that water off at the dump site. Otherwise you have a 6-inch round (in most cases) gravity dump that is not very efficient when compared to the bigger 10-inch gravity dumps on some tankers. Too many times (again, not the case in Alberta) we have seen operators hesitant to take the vacuum tanker to its maximum potential.
