Proppant Processing
MINING
Sierra Frac Sand’s mining capacity is unmatched with an average of 20,000 tons of proppant mined and transported for washing each day (increased by 25% in 2021).
WASHING
Our washing process is intense and highly efficient with a maximum production of 850 TPH throughput. Each ton goes through the system three times to remove and separate all particles to create high quality sand products. This aggressive manufacturing process is what produces the cleanest and most highly desired sand in the Haynesville Shale.
DRYING
We use rotary dryers averaging 800 TPH with a peak capacity of 1150 TPH.
SCREENING
The efficiency of our screening process is consistently optimized with a capacity of 10,000 tons of sellable proppant per day. Our screening yields approximately 50:50 40/70 to 100 mesh with other industry-standard sizes also available.
CAPACITY
With over 100 million tons of reserves and 4.5 miles of Red River frontage, we can maintain a large supply of sand for many years. Once we implement dredging from the river, reserves become virtually perpetual. Our combined storage capacity exceeds 290,000 tons from all three of our facilities and utilizes a revolutionary flat storage design.
