1. A compartmentalized hydraulic fracturing (frac) system comprising:
a mono line configured to carry frac fluid into a well;
a plurality of zones, each zone comprising:
a set of one or more frac pumps each configured to pump frac fluid into the mono line;
an isolation valve configured to control the flow of frac fluid between the set of frac pumps and the mono line; and
a bleed valve configured to release pressurized frac fluid from the set of frac pumps when in an open position;
partition walls between the plurality of zones; and
a control system configured to deactivate or reactivate a zone of the plurality of zones by controlling the set of frac pumps, the isolation valve, and the bleed valve of the zone.
