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 13):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the filter assembly comprises a proppant reduction cover adapted for installation over the vent hatch and having an attachment mechanism adapted to removably attach the proppant reduction cover adjacent the vent hatch, the proppant reduction cover comprising a permeable filter material adapted to facilitate a first flow of displaced air therethrough generated responsive to a flow of the proppant into the proppant storage chamber and to nominally prevent airborne proppant dust from escaping the proppant storage chamber.
