A proppant discharge system has a container with an outlet formed at a bottom thereof and a gate slidably affixed at the outlet so as to be movable between a first position covering the outlet to second position opening the outlet, and a support structure having an actuator thereon. The container is removably positioned on the top surface of the support structure. The actuator is engageable with gate so as to move the gate from the first position to the second position. A conveyor underlies the container so as to receive proppant as discharged from the container through the outlet. The container is a ten foot ISO container.

1. A process for delivery of proppant to a fracturing site, the process comprising: formingproviding a container having an interior suitable for receiving the proppant therein, the container having an outlet at a bottom thereof, said container havingand a gate slidably positioned over saidthe outlet
1. A process for delivery of proppant to a fracturing site, the process comprising: formingproviding a container having an interior suitable for receiving the proppant therein, the container having an outlet at a bottom thereof, said container havingand a gate slidably positioned over saidthe outlet, saidthe gate being slidable along a horizontal plane, said gateand having at least one pin affixed thereto and extending outwardly thereof;filling at least a portion of saidthe container with the proppant;positioning the container upon a trailer of a vehicle;moving the vehicle and, the trailer, and the container along a roadway to the fracturing site;lifting the container from saidthe trailer;placing the lifted container upon a conveyor structure having a conveyor such that saidthe outlet of saidthe container is positioned directly above saidthe conveyor, said conveyor structure havingthe container being aligned with a cradle of the conveyor structure, and a receptacle translatably positioned adjacent a top surface thereofof the conveyor structure when the container is positioned on the conveyor structure, the step of placing comprising: inserting a portion of the pin of saidthe gate into saidthe receptacle;translating saidthe receptacle such that the pin causes saidthe gate to slide in a horizontal placeplane so as to open saidthe outlet of said conveyorthe container such that the proppant in saidthe interior of container is discharged through saidthe outlet directly downwardlydownward toward saidthe conveyor through the opening in the conveyor structure; andconveying the discharged proppant to a desired location at the fracturing site. 2. A process for delivering proppant to a fracturing site, the process comprising: formingproviding a container having an interior suitable for receiving the proppant therein, the container having an outlet, the container having a gate slidably movable in a horizontal plane over saidthe outlet;filling at least a portion of saidthe interior of saidthe container with the proppant;positioning saidthe filled container upon a trailer of a vehicle after filling at least a portion of the interior of the container with the proppant;moving saidthe vehicle and said, the trailer, and saidthe container along a roadway to the fracturing site;lifting saidthe container from saidthe trailer;formingproviding a conveyor structure having a conveyor, saidthe conveyor structure havingbeing arranged to position an actuator adjacent a top surface thereof when the container is positioned on the conveyor structure, saidthe conveyor structure having a hopper positioned below saidthe top surface of saidthe conveyor structure, saidthe hopper having a metering gate at a bottom thereof, saidthe metering gate positioned directly over saidthe conveyor;placing the lifted conveyorcontainer upon saidthe top surface of saidthe conveyor structure such that saidthe actuator is cooperative with saidthe gate when the container is positioned on the conveyor structure such that the proppant filling at least a portion of the interior of the container will flow into the hopper when the gate slides along the horizontal plane;actuating saidthe actuator so as to slide saidthe gate in saidthe horizontal plane so as to open saidthe outlet of saidthe container such that proppant is discharged from saidthe container directly downwardlydownward into saidthe hopper;metering the proppant from saidthe hopper at a controlled flow rate onto saidthe conveyor; andconveying the metered proppant to a desired location at the fracturing site. 3. The process of claim 2, further comprising: placing the filled container upon a train;transporting the filled container on saidthe train to a location; andremoving the filled container from saidthe train. 4. A process for delivery of proppant to a fracturing site, the process comprising: filling at least a portion of a container with proppant, a container having an interior suitable for receiving the proppant therein, an outlet at a bottom thereof, and a gate slidably positioned over the outlet;positioning the container upon a trailer of a vehicle;moving the vehicle, the trailer and the container along a roadway to the fracturing site when at least a portion of the container is filled with proppant;lifting the container from the trailer;placing the lifted container upon a conveyor structure having a conveyor such that the outlet of the container overlies the conveyor, the step of placing comprising:connecting the container to a receptacle when the container is on a top surface of the container mounting structure;actuating the receptacle such that the gate slides to open the outlet of the container such that the proppant in the interior of container is discharged through the outlet downwardly toward the conveyor through an opening in the conveyor structure aligned with the outlet and extending through the conveyor structure; anddirecting the discharged proppant to a desired location at the fracturing site. 5. A process for delivering proppant to a fracturing site, the process comprising: positioning the container filled with proppant upon a trailer of a vehicle, the container having an interior suitable for receiving the proppant therein, an outlet, and a gate slidably movable in a substantially horizontal plane over the outlet;moving the vehicle, the trailer, and the container along a roadway to the fracturing site;lifting the container from the trailer;providing a conveyor structure having a conveyor to direct proppant toward a desired location at the fracturing site, the conveyor structure supporting an actuator adjacent a top surface thereof when the container is positioned on the conveyor structure, the conveyor structure having a hopper positioned below the top surface of the conveyor structure, the hopper having a metering gate positioned at an outlet thereof over the conveyor;placing the lifted container upon the top surface of the conveyor structure such that the actuator is cooperative with the gate when the container is positioned on the conveyor structure and the outlet of the container is aligned with the hopper;actuating the actuator so as to open the gate in the substantially horizontal plane so as to open the outlet of the container such that proppant is discharged from the container directly downward into the hopper;metering the proppant from the hopper at a controlled flow rate onto the conveyor; anddirecting the metered proppant to a desired location at the fracturing site.
