Abstract: A sand separation system and method for operating a sand separation system, in which the method includes separating sand from a fluid using a separator. The method includes, signaling for a blowdown unit to blowdown the separator, opening one or more blowdown valves of the blowdown unit coupled to the separator in response to the signaling, so as to blowdown the separator, and receiving the sand from the separator into a sand disposal unit. The sand passes through the one or more blowdown valves that are opened. The method includes measuring a weight of at least some of the sand that was separated in the separator using a load cell of the separator, a load cell of the sand disposal unit, or both, and determining a blowdown interval for subsequent blowdown operations of the separator based in part on the weight of the sand.

Abstract: A mixed fluid collection apparatus includes a collection vessel configured to contain a fluid comprising a first component and a second component. The collection vessel includes an outer shell within which the fluid is contained. An emitter is coupled to an outside of the outer shell at a first position, and is configured to emit an acoustic signal into the outer shell. A receiver is coupled to the outside of the outer shell at a second position, with the receiver being configured to detect the acoustic signal emitted by the emitter. A controller is coupled to the emitter and the receiver. The controller is configured to determine a time between when the acoustic signal is emitted and when the acoustic signal is detected, and the controller is configured to determine a level of the second component in the collection vessel based on the time.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing sand from a well fluid includes a pressure vessel having an inlet and an outlet. The well fluid flows into the pressure vessel through the inlet and flows out of the pressure vessel through the outlet. A screen is positioned at least partially within the pressure vessel and configured to remove the sand from the well fluid. At least a portion of the sand that is removed from the well fluid at least partially obstructs one or more openings in the screen. A cleaning assembly is positioned at least partially between the pressure vessel and the screen and configured to remove the sand that is obstructing the one or more openings in the screen during a screen-cleaning operation.

Abstract: A cyclone separator includes a cyclone body having an inlet and an underflow outlet. The inlet is configured to receive a mixed fluid therethrough and into the cyclone body. An underflow is separated from the mixed fluid and directed to the underflow outlet. The cyclone separator also includes an inlet insert positioned in and coupled to the inlet, the inlet insert being configured to direct the mixed fluid generally tangent to an interior surface of the cyclone body, a cyclone insert positioned at least partially within the cyclone body, the cyclone insert including a conical cyclone, and a sand collection vessel coupled to the cyclone body and in communication with the underflow outlet. The underflow is directed to within the sand collection vessel when separated from the mixed fluid in the cyclone body.

Abstract: A sand quantification system includes a box configured to be positioned over a tank. The box includes an openable bottom configured, such that, when the bottom is open, contents within the box are dumped into the tank. The box also includes a filter configured to allow liquid to drain out of the box without opening the bottom. The system also includes a load cell configured to measure a weight of the box and the contents therein without measuring a weight of the tank.

Abstract: A sand separation system includes a separator configured to separate a multi-phase process fluid into a solids and a fluid. The system also includes a blowdown vessel coupled to the separator. The blowdown vessel is configured to receive the solids and a portion of the fluid from the separator. The system also includes a fluid removal assembly coupled to the blowdown vessel. The fluid removal assembly is configured to drain at least some of the fluid in the blowdown vessel therefrom, substantially without removing the solids from the blowdown vessel.
