Abstract
A system for making and using a ground product that includes one or more of: a reactor operated to react a guar split with a reagent at a reaction temperature in a range of 120° F. to 180° F. to form a guar derivative, and a treatment and transfer section for optionally treating the guar derivative and transferring the guar derivative to a co-grinder. The co-grinder is operably associated with a heated vacuum system and is operated to co-grind an acid with the guar derivative to form a ground product.
Claims18
A system for making and using a ground product composition of matter, the system comprising:
- a reactor operated with a reaction temperature range of 120° F. to 180° F., wherein
- a guar split and at least one reagent are fed to, and reacted within, the reactor to form a guar derivative;
- a transfer and treatment section operably coupled with the reactor, wherein the guar derivative is treated and transferred;
- a co-grinder operably associated with the transfer and treatment section, whereby the guar derivative is transferred thereto, wherein the co-grinder is further fed an acid, and wherein the co-grinder operates to grind the guar derivative and the acid together to form a ground product characterized by at least 90% by weight of a given quantity thereof having an average particle bulk diameter less than or equal to 74 microns;
- a heated vacuum system operably associated with the co-grinder, the heated vacuum system comprising:
- a combustion burner;
- a dust collector configured for use as a dryer;
- and
- a blower configured for pulling a vacuum.
A system for making and using a ground product composition of matter, the system comprising:
- a reactor operated with a reaction temperature range of 120° F. to 180° F., wherein
- each of a guar split and at least one reagent are fed to, and reacted within, the reactor to form a guar derivative;
- a transfer and treatment section operably coupled with the reactor, wherein the guar derivative is treated and transferred;
- a co-grinder operably associated with the transfer and treatment section, whereby treated guar derivative is transferred thereto, wherein the co-grinder is further fed a powdered acid, and wherein the co-grinder operates to grind the guar derivative and the powdered acid together to form a ground product characterized by at least 90% by weight of a given quantity thereof having an average particle bulk diameter less than or equal to 74 microns, and wherein the co-grinder is operated with an exhaust temperature in a range of about 175° F. to about 185° F.;
- a heated vacuum system operably associated with the co-grinder, the heated vacuum system comprising:
- a combustion burner;
- a dust collector operated a dryer;
- and
- a blower operated to pull a vacuum on at least one of the reactors and the co-grinder.
