It’s a new view: the longest conveyer belt in America.
Atlas Energy Solutions, a Texas-based oil field company, installed a 42-mile length (67 kilometers), a conveyor belt to carry millions of tons of sand for hydraulic fractures. The company called “Dune Express” works among the state borders of New Mexico along small kermit, Texas, Texas and state borders. The tall and length, which is similar to the solar modules, the steel structure can make almost a roller coaster.

In West Texas, there are several people who are admired in the unusual car in the kermit, which is usually less than 6,000 of the sand, which is usually less than 6,000. During fracking, liquid pits or high blood pressure to create fractures is hit on the ground. Sand helps holes open as water, oil and gas flow.
According to CEO John Turner, it is usually a long and potentially dangerous process to move sand with sand truck. According to him, mass trucks and other industrial goods are a common site in the oil-rich Permia basin and pose a threat to other drivers.
“Pretty Early, the delivery of the sand with the truck was not only inefficient, is dangerous,” he said.
The conveyor, which is a load capacity of 13 tons (11.79 metric tons) was designed to burn and truum.
The innovation is not new for the oil and gas industry, but there is no idea to use a conveyor to move the surrounding materials. According to the NASA Earth Observatory, a conveyor belt in the world’s longest conveyor, 61 miles (98.17 kilometers), 61 miles (98.17 kilometers).

The sand sits in a bowl in the form of a capable capable of any point, but it will be demolished at any point, but most of the Texas and New Mexico are closed to silo. Throughout a long journey, the sand is sold and sent to dwarf companies moving by car for the rest of the trip.
Be sure to keep the sticks on the belt and smooth the greatest repair barriers for this turner. The rollers are equipped with chips that signal when they have to fail and change. This prevents wear and continues to work consistently and Turner said.
