Hydration systems and methods

A substantially continuous stream of aqueous fluid and a substantially continuous stream of gel having a first concentration are combined to form a substantially continuous stream of gel having a second concentration. The second concentration is substantially lower than the first concentration. The gel having the second concentration may thereafter be utilized in conjunction with a well fracturing operation. 结合基本上连续的含水流体流和具有第浓度的基本上连续的凝胶流以形成具有第二浓度的基本上连续的凝胶流。所述第二浓度基本上低于所述第浓度。具有所述第二浓度的所述凝胶之后可结合井压裂操作使用。
