Wisconsin's Frac Sand Boom. Frac sand mining boomed in Wisconsin between 2010 and 2015 with companies from around the United States building mines, processing plants and rail loading facilities in hopes of capitalizing on the state's reserves of silica sand the industry calls "Northern White." It was prized for its strength and roundness, and deposits in places like Chippewa, Barron and
view moreSand enters the Hydrosizer from the top, while a column of fresh, clean water pushes upward from the bottom of the machine. The water moves at such a rate that only particles of plus 70 are carried up and over the unit, while coarser materials drop from the bottom of the Hydrosizer. This separation is key to the process, as only plus-70 particles are considered true frac sand.
