Fracking. We have heard the term, but do we know what it means Fracking is short for hydraulic fracturing. It's a method of extracting natural gas and oil from shale deposits deep within the earth. Water, chemicals, and sand are pumped into these shale deposits under very high pressure which causes the shale to fracture, releasing the natural gas and oil trapped within. The slurry of water, chemicals, gas, and oil are then slowly pumped back out, leaving the sand to hold the fractures open so the mixture can be removed. As the slurry of chemicals, water, sand, gas and oil is pumped back out of the ground, it is separated into its different components and stored in tanks.
Description
Frac sand gets its name from its use in hydraulic fracturing (fracking), a completion method used by oil and natural gas companies to produce natural gas, natural gas liquids, and oil from unconventional, low permeability reservoirs such as shale.
It is a high-purity quartz sand with very round grains. It is very durable and provides a crush-resistant material used in oil and gas industries for hydraulic fracturing (also called fracking).
Proppants used in the petroleum industry must meet very demanding specifications. The typical characteristics of high quality frac sand include:
High-purity silica sand a grain size that is perfectly matched to job requirements a round shape that allows it to be carried in hydraulic fracturing fluid with little turbulence durability to resist the crushing forces of closing fractures.
It comes in various sizes. It can be as small as 0.1 millimeter in diameter to over 2 millimeters in diameter. Most frac sand used in oil and gas industries are between 0.4 and 0.8 millimeters in size.
Why Frac Sand Makes a Good Proppant?
After the surface pumps are turned off, the fractures contract but do not close completely because they are propped open by billions of grains of it. This occurs when there is sufficient sand remaining in the rock to resist the force of the closing fractures.

Description
Silica sand is distinguished by its high chemical purity. The SiO2 contents range in excess of 99.5%.Silica has a high melting point, making it an ideal product for use in foundries. For industrial and manufacturing applications, deposits of silica yielding products of at least 95-99% SiO2 are preferred. Silica is hard, chemically inert and has a high melting point, attributable to the strength of the bonds between the atoms

Description
Industrial Raw Materials are used for buffing, sanding, grinding, or polishing with other products such as Silica Flour, Limestone, Aggregate, Quicklime, Talc, Volcanic Rock and Calcium Carbonate. An abrasive is a material, often a mineral, that is used to shape or finish a workpiece through rubbing which leads to part of the workpiece being worn away by friction. While finishing a material often means polishing it to gain a smooth, reflective surface, the process can also involve roughening as in satin, matte or beaded finishes. As long as the abrasive itself is harder than the material you are trying to finish, an abrasive will be a very effective way of honing down any material to prepare it for use. Industrial Raw Materials Abrasives consist of minerals that can be either naturally-occurring or synthetic, such as calcite, emery, pumice, sandstone, garnet, borazon, ceramic, steel abrasive, and silicon carbide. When used for industrial applications such as mining, construction, railroad, and wholesale/retail operations, usage falls into several different categories: bonded, coated and others. A grinding wheel is a good example of a bonded abrasive, operated at very high speed to finish any material which is pressed against it. Sandpaper is the most commonly used coated abrasive, and is affixed to a backing material, such as paper or metal.
While sandblasting a stream of Industrial Raw Materials Abrasives is thrown out on the surface of the workpiece to make it smooth or to remove the contaminants from the surface. Apart from this, these are used in automotive paints. Calcium carbonate is also an Abrasive that is used in toothpaste. In this particular application, hardness of the Abrasive is more than that of the contaminating agent but less than that of the tooth enamel. This helps in removing the bacterial plague without damaging the tooth enamel. Abrasives are also used in the processing of jewelry pieces.

Description
Water Treatment Garnet solves a major filtration problem. A properly designed multi-media filter system contains filter media of large grains on top and small grains on the bottom of the filter and provides superior performance even after many backwashings. The solid substances getting into the entire filter bed result in increased solids storage, longer filter runs, and higher filtration rates. This stable condition of large grains above finer one is achieved by the use of filter material of different size and specific gravities. Garnet has a high specific gravity provides a unique filter design. Garnet, in combination with other filter media, provides higher flow rates, higher loading, and better filtration. The high hardness of Garnet reduces attrition and extends the lifetime of the filter bed and provides for years of reliable service. Garnet is an excellent support bed for other high-density media. Garnet is used in sand filters for Water Filtration with other water treatment filtration media products such as Gravel, Anthracite, Silica Sand, Birm, Pumice and Activated Carbon.
Our filter garnet is a high hardness, high-density granular filter media. It can be used extremely effectively as the lower layer in a dual media filter system â?? in conjunction with sand, gravel, and occasionally filter coal. With characteristics such as high specific gravity as well as chemical and abrasion resistance, our filter garnet is ideal for water filtration.
Garnet Features: Its weight is lighter than the rest of the surrounding rock types in the ground as a whole. Granite grains vary in size from medium to large. The rock contains silica in abundance among its ingredients. One of the most common types of rocks. It is characterized by its very high hardness. It can be relied upon in various construction works, due to its high weathering ability; Therefore, it is used in the construction of temples, palaces, and museums. It differs very beautifully thanks to the combination of colors in its formula. It also has the advantage of being an insulating material, so mica sheets are extracted from it and used in the production of electrical insulation purposes. Very well conductive of heat. It is a very durable rock.

Sand has become a passion of ours due to the fact that we have seen so many beautiful volleyball courts over the years with horrible sand. Building a beach volleyball court with bad sand typically results in a court which doesnot get used. Most volleyball players new and experienced donot like to play beach volleyball in a cloud of dust or in sand that cuts up their knees and elbows.
You will want to deposit one to two feet of volleyball sand over the area prepped for drainage and rake level. Your budget may dictate the depth of sand used but keep in mind if you go with a lesser depth, plan on raking or shoveling back sand from the middle of your dished out court to the sides about once a week or more (depending on how often the court is used).
The playing area alone will consume approximately 100+ tons of sand at a depth of approximately 12 inches. Many customers purchase between 100-300 tons per court depending on the size of their court and the depth they prefer. ( For more detailed information and pricing)

Description
Quartz is a mineral that was discovered by the Frenchman Pierre Curie and his brother (Jacques), who was studying a sample of sand in the year 1880 when they observed a strange phenomenon. It is that when quartz (silicon dioxide) is exposed to a mechanical voltage, an electric current is generated. Conversely, if the quartz crystal is exposed to an electric field, it will oscillate and vibrate at a certain frequency. It was also found that this vibration and oscillation were of high regularity and accuracy. This phenomenon, which was known as piezoelectric, enabled researchers to manufacture many sensitive devices. Among the most important are watches designed to measure time with high accuracy, as the share of quartz in the watch industry has reached more than 85% of the global watch market.
