Hydration Unit

During hydraulic fracturing, hydration unit is used for preparation of water base gels with power gelling agent. Through hydration, different frac base fluids (gels) can be transferred to the blender for crosslinking. This hydration unit for gas well fracking is capable of working in extreme climates from arctic to desert and tropical conditions.
