Abstract
In a general aspect, the present disclosure relates to a blender system for use in a hydraulic fracturing system. The blender system includes a mixing tub and a movable divider associated with the mixing tub. The divider is movable between an open position and a closed position. When the divider is in the open position, liquid can flow between a first portion of the mixing tub and a second, distinct portion of the mixing tub. When the divider is in the closed position, the divider prevents liquid flow between the first and second portions. A divider control system can move the divider between the open and closed positions. A first input pump pumps fluid into the first portion of the mixing tub, and a first output pump pumps fluid from the first portion of the mixing tub. A second input pump pumps fluid into the second portion of the mixing tub, and a second output pump pumps fluid from the second portion of mixing tub.
