First Stage of the Seawater Desalination Plant in Tseung Kwan
Tixobent For Pipe Jacking
in Hong Kong
The Seawater Desalination Plant in Tseung Kwan, will be the first one of its kind in Hong Kong to provide the mega city with an alternative water resource. Siam Minerals designed a bentonite slurry, which was a combination of a salt-water resistent bentonite and a polymer for clay inhibition for this massive pipe jacking project.Â
After finishing the landbased constructions, the Pipe Jacking works for the pipelines of the desalination plant proceeded under the sea bed. We supplied our salt-resistant bentonite TIXOBENT SW and polymer BMS 500 to support the drilling operations of 600 meters with the most suitable and efficient drilling fluid system. BMS 500 is a clay inhibitor and lubricant, that allows drilling with seawater-based drilling fluids.
Project Responsibilities
330m, OD 2970 mm
270m, OT 1950 mm
Project Challenges
Sea water was used as make up water. Salt resistant drilling fluid products were therefore indispensible.
