<p>This invention discloses a method of in-situ recycling of an abrasive mixture in a high-pressure fluid jet system comprising introducing a high-pressure fluid through a high-pressure fluid bore to a mixing area, introducing an abrasive mixture to the mixing area through an abrasive entry port for being mixed with the high-pressure fluid and forming an abrasive-fluid mixture, discharging the abrasive-fluid mixture from the high-pressure fluid system through a mixing tube to form a high-pressure abrasive-fluid jet, catching at least a portion of the abrasive-fluid jet comprising an abrasive-fluid mixture exiting the mixing tube in a catching device, filtering the caught abrasive-fluid mixture in a filtering device to separate and dispose debris and derive a filtered abrasive mixture, and pumping the filtered abrasive mixture out of the filtering device and into the mixing area through the abrasive entry port to be mixed with high-pressure fluid.</p> |
