Proppant Delivery System And Related Method

A delivery system for feeding particulate matter to a target location at a well site, the system comprising

• a transportable conveyor belt assembly comprising a housing forming one or more housing inlets and enclosing one or more motorized conveyor belts configured to feed the particulate matter placed thereon to the target location;
• one or more transportable silos, each silo forming one or more silo inlets all of which are in fluid communication with a particulate matter supply line, each of the silo inlets extending through a side wall of the respective silo, each of the silo inlets of the respective silo being disposed at a different location from the others along a longitudinal axis of the respective silo;
• and
• one or more enclosed chutes, each of the chutes being detachably attachable to a respect one of the silos and forming a passageway extending and sloping downwardly from an outlet of its respective silo to a respective one of the housing inlets, and being configured to receive into the passageway particulate matter gravity fed out of the outlet of the respective one of the silos, through the passageway and into the respective one of the housing inlets of the housing of the conveyor belt assembly;
• wherein the silos, the chutes and the housing are configured to substantially enclose the particulate matter as it passes from the silos through the chutes and conveyor belt assembly to the target location, so as to inhibit the release of dust generated from movement of the particulate matter from the silos to the target location.
