hydration unit for continuous mixing of fracturing fluids

Hydration Unit, Continuous On-Site Mixing System for Fracturing Operations

The hydration unit is a continuous on-site mixing system specifically designed for fracturing operations. It enables real-time proportioning and on-demand mixing of all chemical additives and liquids during the operation, allowing for flexible adjustment of fracturing fluid formulations. The equipment can dynamically adjust fluid volume according to actual site requirements, preventing material waste and significantly improving operational efficiency.

Main Features of the Hydration Unit

• Equipped with a high-energy jet constant pressure mixer, effectively preventing “water encapsulating powder” phenomena and enhancing mixing uniformity.
• Integrated online viscosity measurement system allows real-time monitoring of fracturing fluid viscosity, ensuring stable mixing quality.
• Utilizes an advanced first-in, first-out tank structure combined with high-speed shear agitation to effectively increase fluid viscosity.
• Control system supports seamless switching between manual and automatic modes, providing operational flexibility to meet various working conditions.
• The equipment integrates power, hydraulic, powder, mixing, liquid additive, and automatic control systems into a compact structure with strong site adaptability.

Application Fields

• On-site continuous mixing of fracturing fluids for oil and gas wells.
• Precise proportioning of chemicals and liquids in various fracturing and acidizing operations.
• Preparation of fracturing fluids for unconventional energy development such as shale gas and coalbed methane.
• Engineering projects requiring efficient and flexible on-site mixing of fracturing fluids.
