Sand Separation




	Caltec’s patented I-SEP technology can be used to separate produced sand from mixtures of liquid and solids, in-line with the process, at the process operating pressure. The system is completely scalable from 1,000 to 70,000 bpd; with a low pressure loss, the compact system is can be designed for operating pressures over 10,000 psi.




		The fluid containing the solids enters the I-SEP; due to very high centrifugal forces generated within the separator (around 3000 g), the two phases are very quickly separated.

		This gives a clean liquid phase, containing only some very fine solid particles, typically below 50 microns.
