Column flow testing
System and method for monitoring frac fluid flow through a column bed includes preparing a vessel (112, 440) with a column including a filtering member (120, 420), a column bed (114, 414) simulating a downhole environment, and a frac fluid (116, 416). Frac fluid (116, 416) is flowed through the column bed (114, 414) at an acceleration exceeding gravity for a predetermined period of time. The amount of liquid that flows through the column bed (114, 414) and that is recovered after the predetermined period of time is then determined.
