Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, an inventory management system and method are provided. The inventory management system and method utilize an inverted database architecture that stores all the individual information related to each inventory item with the item itself, rather than just an identification number. Successive local, regional, and enterprise databases may be constructed from the item level up. That way, each inventory item effectively becomes a database, storing all its own data, and the higher level databases may be updated to reflect the information from the lower level databases when communication is available. This inventory management system of nested databases may be of particular use in the management of bulk material (e.g., powder, granular, or liquid) inventory for remote supply, transportation, and use applications.

Abstract: Methods including placing particles that are substantially dry in a hopper; conveying the particles from the hopper via a conveyance to an open-air gap; adding a fluid to the particles in the hopper, the particles in the conveyance, or both, thereby reducing an amount of a dust produced at the open-air gap. The particles may be sand, silica, gravel, bauxite, ceramic materials, glass materials, polymer materials, polytetrafluoroethylene materials, nut shell pieces, cured resinous particulates comprising nut shell pieces, seed shell pieces, cured resinous particulates comprising seed shell pieces, fruit pit pieces, cured resinous particulates comprising fruit pit pieces, wood, composite particulates, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A manipulatable filtering system for use in a wellbore servicing system is disclosed. The system includes a first wellbore servicing system component configured to communicate a fluid via a first fluid conduit and a second wellbore servicing system component comprising a second fluid conduit. A filter system having an input conduit is in fluid communication with the first fluid conduit. The filtering system includes a plurality of input flow paths, each in fluid communication with the input conduit. The system further includes a plurality of filter housings, each in fluid communication with one of the plurality of input flow paths. A filter is disposed within each of the filter housings. A plurality of output flow paths are in fluid communication with the filter housings and an output conduit is in fluid communication with each of the output flow paths and the second fluid conduit.
