Dual-Pot Sand Filter

Remove sand and other solids from well effluent


The dual-pot sand filter is used to remove sand
and other solid particles from well effluent to
prevent erosion of downstream equipment. Typical
applications for the unit include completion cleanups
and maximum sand-free rate tests.
This filter is typically located after the well flowhead
upstream of the choke manifold. It consists of two
filter pots and interconnecting piping with a bypass
valve and bypass drain. The frame-mounted pots
have telescopic lifting support for convenient filter
replacement.
Based on a 50% solids slurry with a solids specific
gravity of 2.7, the maximum sand concentration for
continuous operation is approximately 4.5 kg/min
[10 lbm/min] solids.
