A dry bulk pneumatic metering system includes a flow line configured for the passage of pneumatically-conveyed bulk material, a bulk material sensor arranged relative to the flow line, the bulk material sensor configured to send a first signal related to a quantity of the bulk material passing in the flow line and within a range of the bulk material sensor, a speed sensor arranged with respect to at least one area of the system, the speed sensor configured to send a second signal related to the speed of gas flow at the at least one area of the system, and a controller arranged to receive the first and second signals and configured to calculate a bulk material flow rate of the bulk material using the first and second signals.

Fracturing slurries are prepared on the fly using a solids pump to feed the solid such as a gel into a liquid stream of normally water for pumping downhole with a large capacity triplex pump. The solids pump is preferably a Posimetric style which delivers the solid into the fluid pipeline in a manner that keeps fluid from backing into the solids hopper above the solids pump. A separate fluid tank is connected to a fluid pump to pressurize a suction line to a boost pump before reaching the triplex pump and pumping into the subterranean formation. The solids pump can deliver between the fluid and boost pumps in which case the solids go through the triplex pump or alternatively the solids can be delivered into the higher pressure discharge line of the triplex pump.

A ball dropper has a stack of trays that have solid portions for supporting a ball and open portions to allow a ball to pass through a tray. Fixed barriers limit the travel of the ball with the rotating tray to allow the ball to become unsupported so that it can be caught on the tray below. A stepper motor precisely makes the required incremental rotation to allow the addition of the next ball at the top. Once the trays are filled or the balls loaded are advanced such that the lead ball is on the last tray any further rotation will start to discharge the balls with each increment of rotation. The device is easy and cheap to fabricate and presents a reliable way to get jam free operation while having a housing that will tolerate the operating pressures in the wellbore.
