Blending system and method for preparing emulsions

摘要

Systems for preparing emulsions can include a first fluid tank, a second fluid tank, and a circulation loop comprising a buffer tank and a pump, in some arrangements. The first fluid tank and the second fluid tank can be in fluid communication with the circulation loop via a first fluid inlet pipe and a second fluid inlet pipe, respectively. An outlet pipe can be in fluid communication with the circulation loop.

1. An on-site emulsifying system comprising:
a first fluid tank for containing a first fluid; a second fluid tank for containing a second fluid; a circulation loop comprising a buffer tank having an inlet and an outlet and a circulation pump in direct fluid communication with the buffer tank inlet and the buffer tank outlet, wherein the first fluid tank and the second fluid tank are in fluid communication with the buffer tank outlet of the circulation loop via a first fluid inlet pipe and a second fluid inlet pipe, respectively, and wherein the circulation loop is configured to circulate a mixture of the first and second fluids into the inlet and out the outlet of the buffer tank and then back into the inlet of the tank via the circulation pump; a c-pump that is in direct fluid communication with the outlet of the buffer tank and in fluid communication with an outlet pipe that is in fluid communication with a wellbore pump; and a feeding pipe in fluid communication with the wellbore pump and a wellbore for immediate application of the fluid in the wellbore.
