Executive Summary
This technical report section details the recovery methods employed at the Preston Silica Sand Mine. The processing operations involve washing, drying, and sorting ROM sandstone to produce frac sand suitable for hydraulic fracturing. The process includes crushing the sandstone, separating material by size, shape, and density in a wet-processing plant, and further sorting in a dry-processing plant.
The facility operates with a crushing plant, a wet-processing plant with a nameplate capacity of 450 short tons per hour, and a dry-processing plant with a capacity of 180 tph. Historical production data indicates over 2.6 million short tons of frac sand produced over a 3-year period, with operations running 24 hours a day during their respective seasons. Quality control measures are in place throughout the wet and dry processing operations.
