Rotary Frac Sand Drying System

Rotary Frac Sand Drying System

Description

  1. Overview
    1. Frac sand drying system for specialized sands used to augment natural gas and oil production.
    2. High-purity quartz sands processed for hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
    3. Rotary dryers are the most proven and preferred method to dry frac sand.
    4. Dryers can be utilized at both the beginning and the end of the fracking process.
    5. Prior to transportation and use at a job site, frac sand must be dried and treated.
    6. After the process, waste fluids form a sludge; dryers can extract liquid from sludge and turn it back into a solid for proper disposal.
  2. Specifications
    1. American Petroleum Institute (API) criteria for frac sands include weight percentage, sphericity and roundness, crush resistance, acid solubility, and turbidity.
    2. To meet API standards, frac sand particles must be well rounded and relatively clean of other minerals and impurities.
    3. Rotary dryer allows the user to vary mass air flow for different moisture content levels or operation at lower throughputs.
    4. A varying tph rate can have a substantial effect on the efficiency of the drying process.
  3. Condition
    1. High-purity quartz sands are common in the U.S., but most silica sand deposits are already being exploited due to numerous industrial uses.
    2. Mining companies wash and dry the frac sand to rid it of all possible impurities.
  4. Included
    1. Frac sand drying system.
