Abstract: A web based platform, system and user interface for tracking and displaying residential irrigation usage uses real-time tracking of water usage to generate a map of irrigation usage for an area. The system records irrigation usage for, for example, a residential area and provides on-demand information of irrigation usage both current and past to an end user. The user interface shows irrigation usage status of subscribing residences. A residence may be selected from the map and their current and historical water usage is displayed. In some embodiments, overwatering or underwatering of a residence may be indicated on the map so that the user may select the residence based on a quick glance of the map and symbol representing the residences.

Abstract: A process for refining sand for use as frac sand includes the steps of passing the sand through a first fines separation stage to remove fine particles of contaminant from the sand, reducing the water content of the sand (such as to less than 20%), passing the sand into an attrition scrubber unit containing moving blades to delaminate clay and other contaminants from the sand grains, passing the sand from the attrition scrubber unit through a second fines separation stage to separate fine contaminants from the sand, and dewatering the resulting sand product in a further dewatering stage.

Abstract: A screening apparatus (10) comprising a frame, a motor assembly (16) for vibrating the frame, at least one screen (20, 30) mounted on the frame for separating materials by size and at least one feed device (35A, 35B, 35C, 35D) provided for delivering a liquid onto said at least one screen (20, 30), said at least one feed device (35A, 35B, 35C, 35D) being adapted to deliver said liquid onto the at least one screen (20, 30) to define a laminar flow of liquid and entrained or suspended solid material over the at least one screen (20, 30).

Abstract: A screen assembly for grading and dewatering sand includes a frame upon which is mounted a deck having a plurality of apertures therein. The frame is mounted on a base and includes a vibration generating device for imparting vibration to the deck. The deck has a first portion inclined downwardly from a first end to second end for grading sand thereon, and a second portion for dewatering sand thereon. The first deck portion is inclined downwardly at a first angle, and the second portion is arranged substantially horizontally or inclined upwardly at a second angle. Sand may be delivered onto the deck at or adjacent the first end of the first portion, so that undersized particles of sand passing through the apertures in the first portion of the deck as oversized particles pass onto the second portion of the deck, whereby the oversized particles are dewatered.
