Abstract
A method includes providing a total flow rate of a proppant slurry by utilizing a slurry pump to provide a concentrated slurry flow rate of a concentrated slurry, utilizing a clean fluid pump to provide a clean pump flow rate of a clean fluid, and combining the clean pump flow rate of the clean fluid with the concentrated slurry flow rate of the concentrated slurry to provide the total pump flow rate of the proppant slurry. The clean fluid is substantially proppant free, the concentrated slurry has a higher concentration of the proppant than the proppant slurry, the total flow rate of the proppant slurry is greater than a maximum slurry pump flow rate of a preferred operating range (POR) of the slurry pump, and the concentrated slurry flow rate is less than or equal to the maximum slurry pump flow rate.
