Patent attributes
A pump control system includes an additive pump, the additive pump being fluidly coupled to a component of a hydraulic fracturing system. The system also includes an additive container, the additive container configured to provide an additive to the additive pump via a flow path. The system further includes a diversion system, arranged within the flow path between the additive pump and the component of the hydraulic fracturing system, the diversion system configured to redirected at least a portion of additive directed toward the component of the hydraulic fracturing system. The system includes a calibration system configured to receive the redirected portion of the additive, the calibration system adapted to adjust one or more operational parameters of the additive pump responsive to an evaluation of a flow parameter of the redirected portion of the additive.
