877.963.4966 | dixonvalve.com CASE STUDY: Dixon innovation was demonstrated when developing the one-piece suction manifold that feeds slurry into high pressure pumps. The manifold design was the result of hydraulic fracturing companies experiencing pump cavitation due to proppant dropout causing destructive flow restrictions. End user input is invaluable, and the feedback has helped guide our direction on an economical solution. The Dixon design combines unique flow geometry with one-piece iron manufacturing technology to increase flow, and eliminate 7-18 leak-prone weld seams. The 3-port and 5-port suction manifolds have been lab and field tested, and the flow profile simulation demonstrates the differences between the welded pipe and Dixon manifolds.
