Claim 11:
12. A system for injecting fracturing fluid into a borehole, the fracturing fluid comprising a carrier fluid mixed with a wet proppant comprising a dry proppant dampened with a dampening liquid, the system comprising:
a mixer operable to receive and mix the carrier fluid and the wet proppant to form the fracturing fluid;
a frac pump operable to inject the fracturing fluid into the borehole; and
a control system comprising a processor operable to receive a moisture content of the wet proppant before being mixed with the carrier fluid and programmed to determine a dry proppant concentration of the fracturing fluid formed in the mixer using a moisture content of the wet proppant, wherein use of the moisture content prevents overestimation of the dry proppant concentration.
