Frac sand separator system

A kit configured to be used with a frac sand separator system, the kit comprising:

• a scale configured to be fluidly connected to a particulate outlet of a sand separator, the scale configured to:
• receive particulate matter from the particulate outlet of the sand separator;
• drain water from the received particulate matter;
• and
• release the particulate matter from the scale to a collection container of the frac sand separator system;
• an outlet valve configured to be fluidly connected between the particulate outlet of the sand separator and the scale;
• and
• a computing device configured to be operatively connected to the outlet valve and the scale, the computing device comprising a processor configured to:
• automatically open the outlet valve to release the particulate matter from the sand separator to the scale;
• automatically close the outlet valve to stop the release of the particulate matter from the sand separator to the scale;
• determine a weight of the particulate matter, in the scale, based on an amount of the particulate matter released from the sand separator to the scale between the automatic opening and automatic closing of the outlet valve;
• and
• cause an actuator associated with the scale to release the particulate matter from the scale.

A computing device configured to be used with a frac sand separator system including a sand separator, an outlet valve, a scale, and a collection container, the computing device comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or processors configured to:
• automatically open the outlet valve to release particulate matter from the sand separator to the scale;
• automatically close the outlet valve to stop the release of particulate matter from the sand separator to the scale;
• and
• cause an actuator associated with the scale to release the particulate matter, received from the sand separator to the scale between the automatic opening and automatic closing of the outlet valve, to the collection container,
• wherein the scale is configured to drain water from the particulate matter received from the sand separator.
