Abstract:
A delivery system for feeding particulate matter to a target location at a well site, including a transportable conveyor belt assembly; one or more silos in fluid communication with a particulate supply line, each of the silo inlets extending through a side wall of the respective silo and disposed at a different location from the others along a longitudinal axis of the respective silo; and for each silo an enclosed chute detachably attachable thereto so as to receive into the chute particulate matter gravity fed out of the respective silo and convey such matter into the housing of the conveyor belt assembly. The silos, the chutes and the housing enclose the particulate matter as it passes from the silos through the chutes and conveyor belt assembly to the target location, to inhibit the release of dust generated from movement of the particulate matter from the silos to the target location.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for controlling the rate of feed of a particulate matter into a blender for mixing components of a desired fracturing fluid, comprising:\n feeding particulate matter into a plurality of transportable silos; and feeding by gravity the particulate matter from one or more of the transportable silos to one or more enclosed chutes and into a conveyor belt assembly comprising a housing enclosing one or more conveyor belts; and operating the one or more conveyor belts to convey a feed of particulate matter from the one or more silos into a hopper assembly in fluid communication with the blender; wherein the one or more silos, the one or more chutes and the housing are configured to substantially enclose the particulate matter as it passes from the one or more silos through the one or more chutes and conveyor belt assembly to the hopper assembly, so as to inhibit the release of dust generated from movement of the particulate matter from the one or more silos to the hopper assembly.
