Detection of solid delivery for slurry mixing

An apparatus comprising:

• an auger that provides a solid to include in a slurry that is provided to a wellbore line;
• a first sensor that senses data associated with a load of the auger;
• a second sensor that senses data associated with revolution per minute (RPM) of the auger;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors that executes instructions out of the memory to:
• monitor the data received from the first sensor to identify the load associated with the auger,
• determine that the auger is actively feeding a solid based on the load being indicative of the auger feeding the solid to form the slurry,
• identify the RPM of the auger based on the data sensed by the second sensor while the auger actively feeds the solid to form the slurry, and
• identify a slurry rate based on the RPM of the auger while the auger actively feeds the solid, wherein the slurry rate is identified in response to the determination that the auger is actively feeding the solid to form the slurry.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon instructions executable by one or more processors to implement a method comprising:

• monitoring power provided to an auger of a slurry blender that mixes and feeds a slurry into a wellbore line;
• determining that the auger is actively feeding a solid based on the power provided to the auger being indicative of the auger feeding the solid when the slurry blender forms the slurry;
• measuring a revolution per minute (RPM) of the auger while the auger actively feeds the solid when the slurry is formed;
• and
• identifying, in response to the determination that the auger is actively feeding the solid to form the slurry, a slurry rate of the slurry blender in feeding the slurry into the wellbore line based on the RPM of the auger while the auger actively feeds the solid.
