AIR BURST© W 188 57618 Oak Grove Drive TechMw 090, L L C btuskego, WI 53150.92 8 'We(C�Deve(opnrent tune 1'(e)6M-NO3 1,., I1na.6w..ae:u www.airbtirstlechnology.com E-mail: bill(o�airbursttechnology.com Process and Eaainment Con>rparisons August 17, 2018 I. AirBurs* equipment is manufactured and supported by a USA company, parts are available in 'Texas, USA The Air -Shock equipment is Israeli, (also known ns BoreBlast Iq 2. The first use ofthe AirBurst process was February of 1995, Air -Shock was first used in the USA in approximately 2003. 3. The AirBurst air gun is easily repairable in the field without the use of exotic tools; repair parts are readily available in the USA. 4. Patented air guns used in the AirBurst process are manufactured by a USA company, Teledyne Marine Corporation that has over 50 years of experience and owns numerous related patents. -rite air guns are specifically designed for hostile environment use in water wells and were never designed to clean silos. 5. Several Bolt air gums are capable of continuous opera(lon up to 3000 psi. AirBurst air gun discharge ports are configured to produce a single bubble for efficient mass displacement of the water produced by the ONpanding bubble, it Is not just a narrow slot and jetting action as depicted by the Air -Shock literature. Creation orthe bubble and subsequent collapse creates a negative pressure which withdraws dislodged material through the screen or out of a rock iracrure. 6. The timing between energy discharges is critical as energy bursts too close together do not allow for dislodged debris to settle before the succeeding burst occurs. AIrBUrst is the only process that can electronically regulate the timing and allow the debris to exit the path orthe next energy discharge, thereby reducing the amount ofdebris that is pushed back into the formation. 7. 'file Boll air gun Is operated by a solenoid valve integral with the air gun which allows complete surface control orthe down hole energy discharge Tom the air gun and critical shuttle opening and closing timing Which is ofpatamount Importance especially at great depths and in extremely abrasive environments. The Air - Shock device has no such control and' is operated by, a preset pressure adjustment made prior to lowering the device into the well, When the preset pre;Sulrc is reached the air gun fires, the unchecked timing results in a very rapid energy release every one half to three seconds and is controlled by internally changing an orifice. Air -Shock has no shuttle timing control and requires removal from the well to make pressure adjustments, resulting in a lot of wasted time. 8, The discharge of'the Bolt dis charge, This keeps abrasives well eep r l dob isnun ofthe shuttle openingervice air gun are s which enhances dependability ed at all times except for the acand greatly extends operational life of the air gun.
