Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for producing a fracturing gel using a preheated hydration fluid. The hydration fluid can be preheated using heat energy recycled from a different part of the operation. Recycling the heat energy can, in certain instances, reduce gel production costs and gel hydration times while improving gel yield.
