Sand X Flowback Process
When the flowback enters the Sand X, the gas pressure is released
into the frac tank, and the hydrocarbons, water and sand fall into
the hopper
There is a screen that catches larger pieces of debris, such as plugs, etc for observation
The mixture begins to separate, and as the sand falls through
the water, any hydrocarbons on the surface of the granules are
displaced, and float to the top of the mixture
Sand X Flowback Process - Continued
The liquid rises to the hopper overflow and falls into the tank
The sand settles into the auger, and by the time it is pushed out of the top of the hopper, it is merely damp
According to independent test data, the hydrocarbon and chloride
levels are safe enough to be incorporated into the environment,
eliminating the expense of sand disposal

As the flowback fluids enter the gas buster, all solids and plug
parts fall out the bottom and into the tray which swings out for
cleaning and inspection

Conventional Tank Cleaning Costs
Average Multi-well frac cleanout is 10 days
Travel Time - $150/hr
Cleaning Time - $295/hr
Average to clean one tank $1,475.30
*Sand X is designed to clean itself and the sand so that you do
not have to clean the tank.
Disposal Costs
Travel to Disposal - $150/hr
Disposal of Sand - $1,178.30/tank (Avg.)
Average Cost of Disposal - $1,617.70
*Sand X is designed to do away with the need to dispose of the
sand.
Cleaning and Disposal
Average Cost to Clean and Dispose of Sand per tank - $3,138.00
Savings
Avg. cost of cleaning and disposal - $3,138Avg. cost of Sand X -
$1,950 - $850(regular gas buster) = $1,100Avg. Savings on 10 day
frac cleanout- $2,038
Test Results
All test results are from an independent lab (Talem, Inc.) that
measures Chlorides
Well name One Bunny 1H (Parker County)
01/14/09 Day 2: Sample from top 352 ppm
Sample from bottom 1300 ppm
