Monitoring health of additive systems

A method, comprising:

• transferring an additive-containing substance for injection into a wellbore with an oilfield additive system, wherein the oilfield additive system comprises a plurality of components each associated with a corresponding operational parameter;
• generating information related to the operational parameter of each of the plurality of components with a corresponding one of a plurality of sensors;
• and
• recording the information generated by the plurality of sensors with a monitoring device to generate a database indicative of an estimated remaining functional life of at least one of the plurality of components.

A system, comprising:

• an oilfield additive system operable to transfer a material for injection into a wellbore, wherein the oilfield additive system comprises a plurality of components;
• a monitoring system operable to monitor the oilfield additive system, wherein the monitoring system comprises:
• a plurality of sensors each associated with, and operable to generate information related to operational parameters of, a corresponding one of the plurality of components;
• and
• a monitoring device in communication with each of the plurality of sensors and operable to record the information generated by the plurality of sensors to generate a database, wherein the database is indicative of an estimated remaining functional life of at least one of the plurality of components.
