Abstract:
Changing a cumulative pumping rate of multiple pump units by adjusting individual pumping rates of the pump units, wherein each temporary dip or spike of an individual pumping rate of one of the pump units is automatically offset by a predetermined temporary adjustment of an individual pumping rate of another one or more of the pump units to thereby reduce effects of the temporary dip or spike on the cumulative pumping rate of the pump units.
