1. An electric blender apparatus for fracturing operations, the electric blender comprising:

  • a first inlet manifold and a second inlet manifold;

    a first crossing inlet operatively coupled between and connecting the first inlet manifold and the second inlet manifold;

    a second crossing inlet operatively coupled between and connecting the first inlet manifold and the second inlet manifold;

    a first outlet manifold and a second outlet manifold;

    a first crossing outlet that is operatively coupled to the first outlet manifold;

    a second crossing outlet that is operatively coupled to the second outlet manifold;

    a first electrically powered blender unit operatively coupled between and connecting the first inlet manifold and the first outlet manifold and capable of producing a first fracturing fluid stream;

    a second electrically powered blender unit operatively coupled between and connecting the second inlet manifold and the second outlet manifold and capable of producing a second fracturing fluid stream;

    a first inlet electric motor operatively coupled to the first inlet manifold, wherein the first inlet electric motor is capable of pumping a first fluid entering the first inlet manifold to the first electrically powered blender unit and the second electrically powered blender unit; and

    a second inlet electric motor operatively coupled to the second inlet manifold, wherein the second inlet electric motor is capable of pumping the first fluid entering the first inlet manifold to the first electrically powered blender unit and the second electrically powered blender unit.
