  • Publication number: 20250243741
    Abstract: A system for conditioning a gas includes an inlet configured to receive the gas from a gas source. The system also includes a strainer downstream from the inlet. The strainer is configured to remove debris from the gas. The system also includes a first flowpath downstream from the strainer. The first flowpath includes a first pressure regulator that is configured to regulate a pressure of the gas by a first amount. The system also includes a second flowpath downstream from the strainer. The first and second flowpaths are parallel. The second flowpath includes a second pressure regulator that is configured to regulate the pressure of the gas by a second amount. The system also includes one or more flowpath valves downstream from the strainer and upstream from the first pressure regulator, the second pressure regulator, or both.

  • Patent number: 11359474
    Abstract: A fluid distribution unit includes a first upstream frac pipe configured to receive a frac fluid and to distribute the frac fluid to a plurality of pump units at a first pressure. The fluid distribution unit also includes a downstream frac pipe configured to receive the frac fluid from the pump units at a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure. The frac fluid at the second pressure is directed into a wellbore. The fluid distribution unit also includes a natural gas pipe configured to receive natural gas from a gas source and to distribute the natural gas to the pump units. The fluid distribution unit also includes a diesel pipe configured to receive diesel from a diesel source and to distribute the diesel to the pump units.
