1. A method of using a vibration dampening assembly for a pump system, the method comprising:
positioning one or more torsional vibration dampers of the vibration dampening assembly to reduce torsional resonance within one or more of: (a) drive equipment for one or more pumps of the pump system, or (b) the one or more pumps of the pump system, the one or more torsional vibration dampers including a first torsional vibration damper operably connected to an output drive shaft and a second torsional vibration damper operably connected to an input drive shaft; and
rotating one or more flywheels operably connected to the input drive shaft of the pump system and configured to rotate with the input drive shaft, thereby to absorb a torque shock as defined by torque variance within the one or more pumps of the pump system.
