DNV Approved Wellhead Desanders: Advanced Solids Removal Technology

Our cutting-edge Wellhead Desanders efficiently remove solids from well fluids using advanced centrifugal action. Designed for continuous operation with minimal footprint, these desanders are perfect for challenging oilfield environments, offering protection for downstream equipment and minimizing production downtime.

Key Features:

  • High-Pressure Rating: Built for pressures up to 15,000 psi, ideal for extreme well conditions.
  • CFD-Simulated Design: Optimized cyclonic pot with centrifugal insert for superior separation efficiency.
  • Dual Pot Configuration: Enables continuous operation and hassle-free maintenance.
  • Compact Footprint: Space-efficient design for easy installation and transport.

Advanced Design:

  • CFD-simulated cyclonic pot to optimize fluid dynamics.
  • Durable, wear-resistant centrifugal insert.
  • Dual gate valve isolated accumulator pot for uninterrupted solids removal.
  • Pressure and differential pressure gauges for precise monitoring.
  • Rugged steel structure and lifting capability: DNV-approved skid with certified lifting points for safe transport.

Performance:

  • Handles high flow rates up to 100 MMCFD (gas) and 10,000 BOPD (liquid).
  • Achieves solid separation efficiency of up to 97%.
  • Capable of removing particles as small as 5 microns.

Operation:

  1. Well fluids enter the cyclonic pot tangentially, generating a strong vortex.
  2. Centrifugal force pushes heavier solids to the vessel wall.
  3. Clean fluids exit through the top overflow, while solids settle in the accumulator.
  4. The dual gate valve system allows batch discharge of collected solids without halting the separation process.

Applications:

  • Well clean-up operations.
  • Flowback operations.
  • Surface well testing.
  • Early production phases.
  • Coiled tubing clean-up.

Benefits:

  • Protects downstream equipment from wear and damage.
  • Reduces production downtime.
  • Lowers maintenance costs.
  • Enables production from high-sand wells.
  • Compact design allows easy transport and installation.

Compliance and Standards:

  • API 6A certified.
  • Compliant with ASME standards.
  • NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliant.
  • DNV 2.7-3 approved.

With a robust construction, high-pressure capability, and CFD-optimized design, our Wellhead Desanders offer a reliable, efficient solution for solids removal in demanding oilfield environments. The dual pot configuration and ability to operate continuously make it the ideal choice for operators seeking enhanced equipment protection and optimized production processes.
