1. A pump system comprising:
a pump having an input shaft, the input shaft having an input slange positioned to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the input shaft;
a driveshaft connected to the input shaft of the pump, the driveshaft having a longitudinal axis offset from the longitudinal axis of the input shaft;
driving equipment including:
a turbine engine;
a gearbox connected to the turbine engine; and
an output shaft having an output flange connected to the driveshaft, the output shaft configured to rotate the driveshaft to rotate the input shaft of the pump; and
a vibration dampening assembly including one or more torsional vibration dampers operably connected to the input shaft and configured to reduce torsional resonance within the driving equipment or the pump.
