ELECTRIC BLENDER SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USE IN FRACTURING UNDERGROUND FORMATIONS USING LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS
The present invention provides a method and system for providing on-site electrical power to a fracturing operation, and an electrically powered fracturing system. Natural gas can be used to drive a turbine generator in the production of electrical power. A scalable, electrically powered fracturing fleet is provided to pump fluids for the fracturing operation, obviating the need for a constant supply of diesel fuel to the site and reducing the site footprint and infrastructure required for the fracturing operation, when compared with conventional systems. The treatment fluid can comprise a water-based fracturing fluid or a waterless liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fracturing fluid.

IMPELLER BOTTLE
The present invention relates to methods and devices for mixing the contents of a mixing container, the device including a container defining a container cavity, the container including a bottom wall supporting a hollow shaft, the shaft supporting an impeller thereon such that the impeller is free to rotate about the shaft, the impeller including a central passageway therethrough for receiving the shaft, the container further including an elongate evacuation tube having a first end positioned within the passageway of the shaft and an opposed second end extending to a port of the container.
Method for confined impinging jets mixing with imbalanced momenta
The present invention discloses a method for confined impinging jets (CIJ) mixing with imbalanced momenta. The method includes the following steps: connecting each inlet of a CIJ mixer with a to-be-mixed fluid by using an inlet conduit; connecting an outlet of the mixer with an inlet of a suction device by using an outlet conduit; and starting the suction device, enabling the to-be-mixed fluids to enter the mixer sequentially through the conduits and the inlets of the mixer and to mix in a mixer chamber, and the mixture is then sucked out from the outlet of the mixer and flows sequentially through the conduit, the inlet of the suction device, and the outlet of the suction device.
MIXING SYSTEMS HAVING ROLLER ASSEMBLIES
Mixing systems that include a mixer housing and a plurality of roller assemblies for mixing and processing materials is disclosed. Each roller assembly includes a roller that extends between sidewalls in the mixer housing and rotates to mix an additive into the material and to carry agglomerated solids toward a discharge of the mixing system. Each of the rollers may have a protrusion geometry formed in the outer contact surface, where each protrusion geometry is complementary to an adjacent roller.
