An installation for the dosing of a powder polymer having a particle size in the range from 100 to 500 micrometers intended to feed a blender in hydraulic fracturing operations, successively including: a powder polymer supply, from a pressurized tilting truck or from big bags emptied by pneumatic conveying, a mechanism for transporting the powder polymer fed by a compressor, and provided with a polymer transportation check valve, a hopper for receiving the powder polymer having a high level and a low level, the hopper being equipped with a pulse jet cleaning dust filter, as well as with a mechanism for controlling the check valve and the compressor according to the high and low levels, a screw feeder for dosing the powder polymer, positioned at the lower end of the hopper, the screw being equipped with a variable-speed motor capable of being remotely controlled.

Equipment and method enabling to directly use powder polymer in hydraulic fracturing

Compact and transportable equipment that can be used for fracturing operations on gas or oil fields, includes, successively, a silo for storing polymer in powder form, a feed hopper of a polymer metering device, a device for metering out the powder polymer, a device for dispersing and grinding the polymer, and at least two volumetric pumps enabling the injection and metering of the polymer solution obtained in the mixer used for supplying at least one high-pressure fracturing pump.
