The filed patent (Publication Number: US20240026765A1) describes a method for supplying fracturing fluid to multiple modular pump manifolds connected to pumps to increase pressure and supply high-pressure fracturing fluid to a main high-pressure manifold. The method involves discontinuing supply to a specific modular pump manifold while continuing to supply the fluid to others, and fluidly isolating the disconnected manifold from the main high-pressure manifold. Additionally, the method includes steps such as supplying water to flush the fracturing fluid from the disconnected manifold, bleeding off pressure in fluid conduits, and performing maintenance procedures on pumps without disconnecting them.
Furthermore, after completing maintenance procedures, the method involves additional steps such as supplying water to the disconnected manifold, priming pumps, discontinuing water supply, supplying fracturing fluid again, and feeding pressurized fracturing fluid from the disconnected manifold to the main high-pressure manifold. These steps aim to ensure efficient operation and maintenance of the pumps and manifolds involved in the fracturing fluid supply process, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance procedures in the overall operation of the system.
