ABSTRACT:
This invention further provides an improved system of fluid transport, including a fluid source and a fluid transport connected to the source. The system includes means for monitoring the concentration of a friction reducing material in the system and means for adding friction reducing material to the fluid transport when the fluid transport could handle a greater throughput, i.e. there is an excess of fluid available at the fluid source and the throughput in the fluid transport limits the amount of fluid which can be transported through the system.
