Abstract
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.
