The PIK-FL installation for studying proppant and hydraulic fracturing fluids transportation

The PIK-FL installation is designed to evaluate hydraulic pressure losses in pipes, as well as to study proppant transport characteristics in a hydraulic fracture model. The installation consists of a hydraulic fracturing fluid preparation and mixing unit with a metering pump for the precise supply of chemical additives and hydraulic fracturing fluid and proppant mixer. The system for studying rheological properties makes it possible to determine shear stress, apparent viscosity of hydraulic fracturing fluid and other parameters. Transparent hydraulic fractures model has a variable geometry (optional) and allows user to visualize proppant transport and deposition process.
