Method and system for intensifying slurry pressure

A pressure intensifier system comprising:

• a housing comprising a piston therein, said piston defining a first volume and a second volume within the housing;
• a high pressure pump;
• a low pressure manifold coupled to a drain line and a slurry tank the drain line is connected to a drain;
• a plurality of valves selectively coupling the high pressure pump to the first volume or the second volume and selectively coupling the first volume to the low pressure manifold, said plurality of valves comprising a first state coupling the high pressure pump to the first volume and coupling the second volume to the low pressure manifold so that a first portion of fluid in the second volume is in communication with the slurry tank and a second portion of the fluid is in communication with the drain, said plurality of valves comprising a second state coupling the high pressure pump to the second volume and coupling the first volume to the low pressure manifold so that a first portion of fluid in the first volume is in communication with the slurry tank and a second portion of the fluid in first volume is in communication with the drain.
