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 10):
The apparatus of  claim 9 , further comprising a blender cover which surrounds and encloses the blender receptacle to reduce emission of airborne proppant during transfer of proppant into the blender receptacle, the blender cover comprising at least one surface in facing relation to the distal end of the moveable conveyor comprising a plurality of adjacent flexible transparent members adapted to hang as a curtain and which are moveable from a first orientation in which the members hang in a nominally sealing engagement to enclose the blender receptacle to a second orientation in which the members are displaced to provide an opening to facilitate communication between the distal end of the moveable conveyor and the blender receptacle.
