Abstract

The invention concerns a process and an apparatus for making a stable solution or dispersion of a hydrosoluble powder. It is characterized by the simultaneous use of a system for withdrawing powder from a vessel (2) e.g. by means of a gas (4), the dilution of the powder in a carrying gas, the driving with said carrying gas, of the obtained dilution, through a transfer duct (10), the passage of the dilution across an electrostatic field (11) and the solubilization in water of a tank (12). The invention is particularly applicable to the dispersion of polyacrylamides used in the technique of enhanced oil recovery.
