Silica Sand Dust Is One of the Most Hazardous Challenges on a Frac Site

Hydraulic fracturing operations use massive quantities of silica sand. From the moment it arrives by truck through loading into sand movers and transfer into blenders, fine silica dust is generated at every step — and crystalline silica dust is a serious occupational health hazard that demands effective dust collection at the source.

American Fabric Filter supplies the oil field industry with custom filter bags, dust collection solutions, and liquid filtration products engineered for the harsh, high-demand conditions of frac sites, sand handling operations, and oil field facilities. We understand the rugged operating environment and build products that hold up in it.

  • Custom filter bags for silica sand dust collection on frac sites
  • Filter bags and cartridges for sand mover and blender dust collectors
  • High-efficiency PTFE membrane and spunbond media for fine silica capture
  • Liquid filtration for produced water, fracking fluid, and oilfield process streams
  • Vessel bags, cartridge filters, filter presses, and housings
  • Custom abrasion-resistant fabrics for high-wear sand handling environments
  • OEM replacement filters for all major dust collector brands used in oil field
Our Core Solutions

Filtration Products Built for the Oil Field

Silica Sand Dust Collection

Custom filter bags and cartridge filters for sand mover, blender, and baghouse dust collectors on hydraulic fracturing sites. PTFE membrane and high-efficiency spunbond media for fine crystalline silica capture — built to meet OSHA silica exposure standards.

Liquid Filtration

Vessel bags, cartridge filters, filter presses, and housings for produced water filtration, fracking fluid processing, and other oil field liquid streams. Available in a wide range of media to handle abrasive solids, hydrocarbons, and chemical exposure.

Custom Fabrications & Site Products

Custom abrasion-resistant covers, equipment wraps, curtain walls, fabric ducts, and connector sleeves built for the demanding conditions of oil field sites — high wear, heavy abrasives, chemical exposure, and outdoor environments.

Why American Fabric Filter

The Oil Field Filtration Partner
You Can Actually Count On

Built to Control Crystalline Silica Exposure

OSHA’s silica standard for oil and gas operations requires effective dust controls at the point of generation. We supply high-efficiency filter bags and cartridges specifically designed to meet these requirements — protecting your workers and keeping your operation compliant.

Abrasion-Resistant Media That Holds Up on Site

Silica sand is extremely abrasive. Standard filter media fails prematurely in high-sand-load environments. We select and fabricate bags in materials specifically chosen to resist the abrasive wear of frac sand — extending service life and reducing replacement frequency on site.

Liquid Filtration for Produced Water & Process Fluids

We supply vessel bags, cartridge filters, and filter press media for produced water, fracking fluid, and oilfield process stream filtration — in media that handles the abrasives, hydrocarbons, and chemical conditions common in oil field liquid streams.

Air & Liquid — One Source

Dust collection filters for your sand movers, liquid filtration for your produced water, custom covers and connectors for your site equipment — we supply it all from one source, with the turnaround oil field operations demand.

Common Questions About Oil Field Filtration

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team is ready to help you spec the right solution.

What filter bags do you recommend for silica sand dust collection on frac sites?

For silica sand dust collection on hydraulic fracturing sites, we typically recommend PTFE membrane or high-efficiency spunbond media. PTFE membrane provides excellent surface filtration that captures fine crystalline silica particles while maintaining airflow, and it releases dust cleanly during pulse-jet cleaning cycles. The right specification depends on your collector type, air volume, and sand throughput — our team will help you determine the best fit.

OSHA’s silica standard for oil and gas operations requires engineering controls at the source to reduce worker exposure to respirable crystalline silica. High-efficiency dust collection with properly specified filter bags and cartridges is a primary engineering control. We supply filter media rated for fine silica particle capture — helping operations document and demonstrate effective dust control in their OSHA silica exposure control plans.

Silica sand is highly abrasive, and filter bags in sand mover and frac blender collectors are exposed to extremely high dust loads. Standard polyester felt bags often fail prematurely in this environment. We select and fabricate bags in abrasion-resistant media specifically chosen for high-sand-load applications — extending service life and reducing the frequency and cost of on-site replacements.

Yes. We carry vessel bags, cartridge filters, filter press media, and filtration housings for produced water, fracking fluid, and other oilfield process liquid streams. Our liquid filtration media is available in grades that handle the abrasive solids, hydrocarbons, and chemical conditions common in oil field liquid applications.

Yes. We fabricate custom abrasion-resistant covers, equipment wraps, curtain walls, fabric connector sleeves, and other site products for oil field equipment. All built to your specifications in materials selected for the high-wear, outdoor, and chemically aggressive conditions of oil field operations.
