FAQS: Proppant Management System

Our automated systems allow our equipment to be monitored and controlled remotely from the data van, reducing silica dust exposure by removing people from potentially high-risk areas while providing real-time consumption rate and inventory data at your fingertips.

What are the dimensions, configurations and storage capacity available?

The approximate dimension of a standard 6-pack system with dual-belt is 60’ L x 61’ H x 34’ W. In addition to the 6-pack, our unique design allows us to tailor its configuration in 625 tons (3-pack) increments to meet the specific needs of every frac job. Our 12-pack system provides 5 million pounds of proppant storage, allowing 25 hours of inventory buffer and can deliver sand at an average rate of over 35,000 pounds per minute.
Will your systems safely help us operate within all Silica Dust regulations?

Our systems are designed to be OSHA compliant throughout the entire proppant path at the wellsite, so you can safely operate within all silica dust regulations. From silo filtration cabinets and tarps to local exhaustion ventilation units on top our silos and fully automated sand delivery, our technologies reduce the amount of silica dust, prevent spillage and remove personnel from high-exposure areas to provide maximum safety.
How will our company benefit from using Solaris' real-time monitoring & automated controls?

Increase uptime and perform hot loading through real-time consumption rates and full visibility of inventory levels at each silo with belt scales and Solaris Lens® Inventory Management Software. Additionally, our AutoHopper™ Automated Sand Delivery automatically controls the pace of sand delivery from silos to blender with artificial intelligence technology, increasing operational safety and efficiency.
Does Solaris Proppant System allow hot loading?

Yes, by using belt scale technology and Solaris Lens® Inventory Management Software, our system provides real time inventory and precise sand consumption rates which allows the operator to load sand while pumping. Recently, a Solaris customer in the Permian basin began out pumping the sand trucking supply, causing onsite inventory levels to approach critical levels. By leveraging our technology and with proper training, they were able to hot load while staying on track of the daily stage count targets. As a result, the customer more than doubled the sand inventory on location, from 680k lbs. to 1.4 mm lbs., adding inventory buffer to increase pumping efficiency and avoid NPT.
