Abstract:
Apparatus and method for reducing airborne proppant adjacent a fracking material handling system. In some embodiments, a proppant storage chamber is configured to store a volume of proppant. A blow-in adapter mates with a first port of the chamber to facilitate a flow of proppant into the chamber at an inlet pressure. A filter assembly covers and filter a first aperture of the chamber to reduce an emission of airborne proppant during the transfer of the proppant into the proppant storage chamber. A vacuum adapter mates with a second port of the chamber to supply a negative pressure to the chamber during the filling process to maintain an internal pressure within the chamber below a predetermined pressure threshold.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 11 , further comprising operating a pressure regulating valve connected to a vacuum line between the second port and the vacuum source to regulate the negative pressure supplied by the vacuum source to the interior of the proppant storage chamber in relation to a magnitude of the inlet pressure to maintain the internal pressure within the proppant storage chamber below the predetermined threshold.
