Abstract:
Reusable, flexible, lightweight, low cost flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) for the delivery of granular proppant material for fracing that will allow the transport of higher weights of proppant, such as sand, per truck load. The invention includes a container made of a high strength, flexible material with a top opening for loading and deploying the proppant. The container can be lifted and deployed with a fork truck or crane. Alternatively, proprietary deployment systems, such as a conveyor system, can be used to quickly and efficiently deploy the proppant from the container at a desired site.

Claim (Index 1):
A bulk material containment system comprising:\n a flexible container comprised of a high strength, flexible fabric configured for storing bulk material; said flexible container comprising a top opening configured for receiving and deploying said bulk material; said flexible container being configured to be stackable upon being filled with bulk material; said flexible container being further configured to be lifted and tipped for deploying said bulk material at a selected location; wherein said flexible container is collapsible to a transportable orientation upon being emptied of said bulk material; a first lifting strap wrapped about an exterior face of said flexible container, said first lifting strap comprising a first set of lifting loops; and a second lifting strap wrapped about said exterior face of said flexible container, said second lifting strap comprising a second set of lifting loops.
