Frac sand must be exceptionally clean in order to meet the end user’s specifications. McLanahan washing and classifying equipment can be used to deslime the sand particles, as well as make the fine-end separation to prepare the feed for the dry processing stage.
McLanahan offers equipment that can make the extremely sharp classification required in the frac sand industry. This equipment can determine what material goes into the frac sand and what material goes into waste and separate it accordingly.
McLanahan engineers complete wet processing plants designed specifically to make the critical separations required for frac sand in the oil and gas well drilling industry. Frac Sand Plants include a combination of McLanahan’s field-proven, state-of-the-art equipment that ensure silica deposits are processed to meet the strict demands of the industry.
Based on the characteristics of the deposit as determined by McLanahan’s accredited lab, McLanahan will design a custom Frac Sand Plant to liberate silica particles, remove non-silica contaminants, remove clay impurities, remove non-frac sand size fractions and break up clusters.
