Proven Design Build Success of Frac Sand Plants in less than 8 months. Industrial Accessories Company (IAC) Designs and Constructs Two Separate 3+MMTPY Frac Sand Plants in Parallel within 8 months from Breaking Ground to Sand in Silo.
MISSION, KANSAS, MAY 1, 2018: Adelphi Construction LC, owned by Industrial Accessories Company (IAC), recently completed the build of two frac sand facilities in central Texas. Industrial Accessories Company (IAC) was contracted to design/build two 3.0+ MMTPY Frac Sand Facilities in Poteet, Texas and Monahans, Texas. These projects required master coordination and were designed, procured and constructed concurrently, proving out the depth of capability within IAC. Both these projects included Process and Design Engineering, Site Prep, wet plant, dry plant, silo storage, loadout, buildings and fully automated control. As an equipment manufacturer, IAC also installed their patented Rotary Dryer Design, baghouse and specialty valve to fully maximize each facility’s processing capacity.
IAC’s internal construction company, Adelphi Construction, completed the construction and commissioning of the plant in Poteet Texas, on February 16th, 2018. The second facility, in Monahans, TX was commissioned and processed sand to the silo on March 1st, 2018. IAC’s manpower loading averaged 225 per day with peak times near 400 field personnel across all disciplines. To meet the impressive turnaround time, IAC facilitated construction around-the-clock work on-site and implemented impressive scheduling and planning of man hours.
Not only was the time to design and construct world class, IAC’s Patented rotary dryer design utilizes a secondary flash zone to increase tonnage by 20-30% over existing Frac Sand Dryer design and that same BTU input. This dryer can process 200+ TPH with a 40 MM BTU burner and WIP sand moisture content in the 3-4% range. Many Frac Sand plants struggle in the early phases of production to provide a 3-4% moisture sand to the dryer and are limited in production until WIP decants to a lower Moisture. The Patented IAC Frac Sand Dryer technology was proven to process wet sand with 8-10% moisture at a rate over 100 TPH and 6% moisture at 160+ TPH. Bob Carter, SVP of Frac Sand Operation for IAC, stated, “I was the SVP of Operations for one of the largest Frac Sand companies in the US for 5 years and operated multiple Frac Sand mining facilities. It was amazing to see the IAC’s revolutionary dual feed patented rotary dryer technology set records for tonnage produced per BTU with both high and low moisture WIP, compared to my previous experience utilizing Stark and Carrier dryer technologies”.
