One or more wellbore servicing operations may require the pulsed delivery of a wellbore servicing fluid. To optimize efficiency and effectives of a given wellbore servicing operation a concentrated proppant stimulation fluid may be pumped downhole at a predetermined time interval from dedicated pumping units or positive displacement pumps. The flow rate of proppant in the concentrated proppant stimulation fluid pumped from these dedicated pumps may simulate a square-wave. The desired or determined square-wave or output may be predetermined and any one or more dedicated pumps may be associated with a given time interval and pumping cycle or phasing such that the overall flow of proppant from all of the dedicated pumps simulates a square-wave. Clean fluid from one or more clean fluid pumps may be combined with the concentrated proppant stimulation fluid to maintain a target flow rate of fluid downhole.
