Water Trucks used in Hydrofracking

Currently, the energy industry’s preferred method of gas extraction is hydraulic fracturing. Hydrofracking involves pumping fracking fluids under pressure into wells in order to fracture the underground formation and increase the flow of natural gas. The process involves vast amounts of water for each well being developed. This water must then be trucked to the well site then trucked out and disposed of after the process is completed. These sites are a large gathering of men and machines. Mostly big semi tractor trailers  are being used with a water body attached to it.

The DynaHauler PVT tanks are a popular choice for the semi trucks due to the fact that they have the capacity to hold up to 6000 gallons of water and are butt welded to the shell and is welded together by the Submersion Arc Welding for 1005 weld penetration.  The tank bodies are outfitted with one piece aluminum hose trays and polyurea chip guard along full length of the tank. This coating provides added protection when loading and unloading hoses. The valves are also loaded with heat jackets that operate from the engines cooling system. Popular options include interior tank liners, electric hose reels, tool boxes and onboard scales.
