Publication number: 20230296050Abstract: An embodiment of a pumping unit includes a gas turbine engine, an enclosure housing the engine, an exhaust assembly connected to the engine, an air intake duct connected to the engine, and an air treatment system connected to the air intake duct. The air treatment system including one or more inlet pre-cleaners configured to eject debris. Each of the inlet pre-cleaners having a cylindrical tubular portion configured to channel air toward the air intake duct. In addition, the pumping unit includes a gearbox operatively coupled to the engine and a drive shaft having a first end operatively coupled to the gearbox. Further, the pumping unit includes a pump comprising an input shaft operatively coupled to a second end of the drive shaft, wherein the engine, the gearbox, the drive shaft, and the pump are disposed along a longitudinal axis of the pumping unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Tony Yeung, Ricardo Rodriguez-Ramon, Diankui Fu, Heber Martinez-Barron, Guillermo Rodriguez, Samir Nath Seth, Joseph Foster, Warren Zemlak, Nicholas Tew

Publication number: 20230258174Abstract: Embodiments of a high-pressure, high power, reciprocating positive displacement fluid pumping system and methods are included. The system may include a high-pressure, high power, reciprocating positive displacement pump including a pump plunger, a fluid end block assembly, and a fluid cover. The fluid end block assembly may include a fluid end block body, a suction port, a discharge port, a pump bore positioned in and extending through the fluid end block body, and a fluid chamber positioned in the fluid end block body and in fluid communication with each of the suction port, the discharge port, and the pump bore. The fluid chamber has an open end portion, and the pump plunger may be positioned to move in the pump bore to pressurize one or more fluids in the fluid chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: BJ Energy Solutions, LLCInventors: Guillermo Rodriguez, Heber Martinez, Ricardo Rodriguez-Ramon, Tony Yeung

Patent number: 11560848Abstract: A method to attenuate noise associated with operation of a gas turbine engine during a fracturing operation may include connecting an inlet of a first elongated plenum to an exhaust duct of the gas turbine engine. The method further may include connecting a noise attenuator to a distal end of the first elongated plenum. The noise attenuator may include first and second silencer hoods. The method also may include pivoting the first and second silencer hoods from stowed positions to operative positions so that the second silencer hood in combination with the first silencer hood define a second elongated plenum positioned to receive exhaust gas via the first elongated plenum and the exhaust duct. The first elongated plenum and the second elongated plenum may increase an effective length of the exhaust duct and may reduce sound emission associated with operation of the gas turbine engine.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: BJ Energy Solutions, LLCInventors: Tony Yeung, Ricardo Rodriguez-Ramon, Heber Martinez-Barron
