TREATMENT OF WELL STIMULATION PROPPANTS WITH DEPRESSION ADDITIVE BASED ON PREDICTED STORAGE TEMPERATURE

Apparatus for treating a wetted proppant including a device to estimate fraction of water in a wetted proppant feed of a frac proppant processing plant; a system for determining an environmental temperature at which the wetted proppant will be exposed to in the frac proppant processing plant or in s...

Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for treating a wetted proppant including a device to estimate fraction of water in a wetted proppant feed of a frac proppant processing plant; a system for determining an environmental temperature at which the wetted proppant will be exposed to in the frac proppant processing plant or in storage holding an output from the frac proppant processing plant; and an additive system to apply a freezing point suppression additive to the wetted proppant in proportion to the fraction of water such that a mixture of the wetted proppant plus the freezing point suppression additive does not solidify at the environmental temperature. A method for treating a wetted proppant is also described.
