Desander
Downhole Desander
Downhole Sand and Gas Mitigation Tools
We offer a product line of multiphase desander equipment for downhole
sand and gas mitigation for rod pump applications. Our multiphase separator is
designed to meet the harsh conditions of the downhole environment.
Incorporation of our desander will help to reduce sand content in the produced
fluids before reaching the pump, resulting in extended pump life. The separation
methods are field proven, and each system is designed to meet or exceed
applicable standards.
Design features
- Primary (Sand) spiral to separate sand and solids
- Secondary (Gas) spiral to assist in gas breakout and separation
-
30' diptube allows sufficient distance for gravity separation of free gas as fluid
travels through the desander
-
Stainless steel diptube offers high resistance to corrosion, ensuring long
operational life of equipment
-
Lower bottom sub is offered in two options:
– Heavy wall is machined from 4140 steel with a 3/4" wall thickness for
extended erosion life
– Light wall is machined from 4140 steel with a 5/16" wall thickness
– Both subs utilize a machine flat along their axis to ensure the mud anchor is
not severed from the bottom of the desander due to erosion at the end of
their useful life
-
Screen wrapped slotted section is optional
– Slotted section is typically screen wrapped to prevent large foreign material
from entering desander and plugging pump
