Water Transfer Services

DHI provides frac tanks and storage needs to complement water transfer and pride ourselves in selecting the best available equipment for every job. We’ve invested in large-diameter hoses capable of feeding frac demand and have selected the materials used by putting service reliability, safety, durability, and versatility first.

DHI employs a 12-inch polyurethane hose for high resistance to the harsh environment. Pumps come in two sizes: 600 HP as a primary pump and 325 HP for inline pumps on a long push. The deployment equipment has been selected for ease of use, reliability, and speed of deployment while not compromising safety.

Our team has developed innovative designs to make operations simpler and more versatile.

High Volume Pumps, 600HP

The DHI 600 HP pump is built on a dual axle 20,000-pound trailer incorporating a 210-gallon fuel tank in the frame. The priming system is vacuum assisted, permitting operation from sources with lower levels. The pump has dual 8-inch discharge lines with quad discharge lines feeding the suction inlet with check valves and a recirculation bypass.

Our 600 HP pump is powered by a John Deere 600 HP diesel engine with auto start and built-in protection shut down systems.

Inline Pumps

The DHI 325 HP pump is built on a dual axle 16,000-pound trailer incorporating a 180-gallon fuel tank in the frame. The priming system is vacuum assisted, permitting operation from sources with lower levels. The pump has dual 8-inch suction lines and dual 8-inch discharge lines with check valves and a recirculation bypass.

Our inline pumps are powered by a John Deere 325 HP diesel engine with auto start and built-in protection shut down systems.

Inline Pump Manifold

The DHI inline pump manifold permits continuous operations. The piping allows for the pump to operate in either direction with full throughput capacity in the normal direction of flow and a slightly reduced rate in reverse should fluids need to be returned to the source. The manifold is full bore, permitting pigging of lines by simply closing the isolation valves feeding the pump. These manifolds are deployed with each inline pump and are easily transported and deployed with the same lifting equipment used to deploy the lay flat hose.

Pig Launcher & Receiver

Our pig launcher and receiving manifold is designed to easily and safely launch and receive full bore pigs without interrupting operations or disconnecting hoses or piping.

The 12-inch unit has a 16-inch launch and receiving cavity that can be isolated in line with a 12-inch gate valve, and flow bypassed and isolated with 8-inch butterfly valves. The tee’s in the system are crossed with diversion bars to prevent pigs being unintentionally sucked into any piping sections.

These units are easily deployed with the same equipment used for the hose reel system.

Lay Flat Hose

Manufactured to the highest quality, DHI’s lay flat hoses are premium products available in 8-, 10-, and 12-inch diameters. Resistant to abrasion and chemicals, these hoses provide top-level reliability and performance capacity. The low expansion factors reduce the snaking effect of the hose under pressure. Hose connections are best-in-class, four-groove, reusable crimped connections with standard and extreme chemical resistance options. The Victaulic union incorporates a locking lug to reduce tension on the crimped hose.

Ground Manifolds

The DHI ground manifold is designed to connect the frac tank line to both the lay flat line and the frac equipment system. Inlets on the manifold are 12 inches, with Victaulic connections or ANSI 150 flanges. The lines to and from the frac tanks are four inches, with Fig 100 or Fig 206 hammer unions using a medium-pressure (500 psi) flexible hose with crimped connections. The manifolds can be connected in series, allowing each manifold to serve up to three tanks. The equipment readily couples together and can be easily deployed with a light forklift. Blind ends are provided with the manifold where needed. The manifold is rated to operate up to 225 psi and suction down to 1 psia (absolute).
