The invention relates to a 
polymer drag 
reducer swelling treatment method for shortening the onset time of a drag 
reducer. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following steps of firstly, 
cutting a 
polymer solid body into pieces, and placing the pieces into a reaction still; secondly, filling the reaction still with 
carbon dioxide to enable the reaction still to be in the supercritical state; thirdly, after polymers swell, deloading the 
carbon dioxide in the reaction still and taking out samples; fourthly, weighing the samples, and placing the samples into a freezing 
barrel for low-
temperature treatment; fifthly, transferring the samples into a 
crusher to be roughly broken and ground; and sixthly, adding parting agents, and after ball milling and mixing, obtaining apulpous oil product drag 
reducer product which takes effect quickly. The 
polymer drag reducer swelling treatment method for shortening the onset time of the drag reducer has the beneficial effects that treatment is carried out through 
supercritical fluid before low-temperature crushing to enable the polymers to have the swelling effect and then be subjected to low-temperature crushing and 
grinding, the technological requirements for sufficient isolation and suspension are met, and therefore, with the treatment method, the time for swelling, 
dissolution and dispersion of the drag reducer in theoil product can be shortened, and the drag reducer can show the drag reduction and delivery quantity increase effects more quickly.
