Abstract: A system for mixing fluids includes at least two pressurized containers, a batching hopper in fluid communication with at least one of the at least two pressurized containers, a mixer in fluid communication with the batching hopper, and a fluid line in fluid communication with the mixer. An automated method of mixing fluids includes measuring a property of a fluid in a rig fluid system, transferring contents from a rig storage container to a batching hopper, transferring the contents from the batching hopper to a mixer, determining an amount of contents to add to a flow of the fluid in the rig fluid system based on the measured property, and mixing the determined amount of contents in the mixer with the flow of fluid from the rig fluid system.
