Separon™ Desander
Separon™ Desanders are designed for bulk solids removal. Used for a wide range of offshore and onshore applications, these systems take on the dirtiest challenges and keep fluid streams free of troublesome solids. With a 2:1 turndown ratio, single units are available for flow rates ranging from 100 to 450,000 BPD.
Key Benefits
Cost Savings
- No moving parts saves maintenance time and costs.
- No liners, screens, or filter elements to clean or replace.
Better Performance
- No backwashing eliminates additional treatment and allows reclaiming of valuable fluids.
- Enhanced internal accelerating slots for optimum solids-removal without emulsification.
High Flexibility
- Designed to handle slugging, upset conditions, and high solids loading.
- Choice of profiles to accommodate space and piping limitations.
- Available as standalone equipment or complete skid packages.
How it works
Liquid and solids enter the inlet tangentially and accelerate in the upper head setting up a circular flow. Centrifugal action directs particles heavier than the liquid to the perimeter of the separation chamber. Particle-free liquid discharges upward through the vortex to the outlet and solids are collected in the lower chamber for automatic and intermittent purging.
