Typically, the frac sand is mined, washed, screened and stored in piles for supply of various grades.  The sand needs to be dried to the required moisture content before it can be sold or further processed to add a resin or alcohol coating. 

Dryers are much more efficient when the input moisture content is consistent. In reality, the moisture content of the sand entering the dryer varies constantly. Typical sand stockpiles can vary from 2%-8% moisture. This variation in the stockpile sand results in heating inadequacies wasting energy, money and out of spec frac sand.
