Process for soil conditioning includes applying to the soil a composition comprising at least a water soluble or swellable polymer. The composition has a particulate form and is applied by an aerial application. The process is suitable for soil conditioning and for reduction in soil erosion in agriculture, forestry, construction and civil engineering, mining, water storage and transportation, protection of rivers and delta against pollution, environmental conservation.

Process for soil conditioning by aerial application of water soluble or swellable polymers

Compact and transportable preparation center which can be used for fracturing operations on gas or oil fields, capable of metering out and dissolving two different polymers in the powder form, and including: two pneumatic mechanisms respectively supplying two storage hoppers for two separate polymers; two mechanisms for supplying and metering the polymer originating respectively from the two storage hoppers to a device for dispersing by grinding, also denoted PSU; two series of tanks for hydration and dissolution of the polymers connected to the dispersing and grinding device; two positive displacement vacuum pumps for metering the two solutions each originating from the two series of hydration and dissolution tanks and intended to supply a mixer itself connected to a high-pressure injection pump. Fracturing process employing the preparation center.

Centre for the preparation of additives for hydraulic fracturing operations and hydraulic fracturing process employing the preparation centre

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.

Polymer dissolution equipment suitable for large fracturing operations

A compact and transportable installation, which is designed to be used in fracturing operations on gas or oil fields, is provided. The installation successively includes a polymer storage area, a vertical polymer transfer hopper, a supply overflow pipe, a polymer dosing system fed by the pipe, a polymer slicing unit (PSU) type polymer dispersion device, a tank for storage and degassing of polymer in solution, and a volumetric pump to inject and dose the solution of polymer obtained at a suction of a high pressure pump enabling the fracturing operations.
