Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A mobile fracking system and methods may include a gas turbine housed at least partially inside a trailer and an exhaust attenuation system configured to receive exhaust gas from the gas turbine. The exhaust attenuation system may include a lower elongated plenum configured to receive exhaust gas from the gas turbine and an upper noise attenuation system that is movably connected relative to a distal end of the lower elongated plenum.
