The fractional volume of the reservoir sand shall be taken to the ground when the crude oil is brought up from the ground. With the deepening of the oil extraction the sand content of oil recovery is increasing. Although many measures have been used such as prevent sand, block sand and so on, the viscosity of heavy oil is big and the fractional of sand is …
Produced Water Desanding. Sand removal from produced water is frequently required if the water is to be re-injected or must be further treated with an oil polishing technology such as Nutshell Media Filtration. Whatever the requirement, whether it is for onshore or offshore processing, we can provide a robust solution.

Figure 1. Process flow schematic of well fluid separation system with emphasis on produced water treatment. Dashed encircled area shows location of desanding hydrocylones (desander) used to remove sand and solids prior to oil removal. Typical produced water desander handles 100-500 ppmw solids at 25-200 micron particle size.
1. n. [Drilling] A hydrocyclone device that removes large drill solids from the whole mud system. The desander should be located downstream of the shale shakers and degassers, but before the desilters or mud cleaners. A volume of mud is pumped into the wide upper section of the hydrocylone at an angle roughly tangent to its circumference.
Hydrocyclones. Bridges, Leon Robinson, in A Practical Handbook for Drilling Fluids Processing, 2020. Desanders. Desanders are hydrocyclones larger than 5″ in diameter (6″, 8″, 10″ or 12″ I.D.). Generally, the smaller the cone, the smaller size particles the cone will separate. Desanders are primarily used to remove the high volumes of …
The sand content in a wellhead oil sample in Malaysia was as low as 1 pound per thousand barrels. A ceramic-lined hydrocyclone desander was used to remove sand at the wellhead, ...

Desanding hydrocyclones are used in water and wastewater treatment processes to remove sand, grit, and other solid particles from raw water or wastewater. They are typically used as a part of the pre-treatment process to protect downstream equipment, such as pumps, valves, and membranes, from abrasive wear and clogging.

In order to explore the effect of oil viscosity on hydrocyclone desanding, 10# and 100# white oils were selected to carry out hydrocyclone desanding experiments at different temperatures, which were equivalent to white oil desanding experiment with four kinds of viscosity (8.21 mPa·s, 21.88 mPa·s, 33.24 mPa·s, 94.27 mPa·s).
Desander is a solid control device with a series of hydro cyclones that separates sand and silt from the rig's drilling fluid. The desander is fixed at the top of the sludge tank, just …
Hollow glass microspheres are used to adjust the drilling fluid pressure/weight.. The microspheres separation, for reuse, is sustainable and economically essential. • Mini- hydrocyclones are good equipment to separate microspheres from drill cuttings. High sand and microspheres separation efficiencies (up to 80%) were obtained.

Starting in the 1960s, standard desanding (solid/liquid) hydrocyclones were used for sand removal from produced water, but their operability in mixed gas/liquid streams was unknown. In 1995, the first wellhead desanding hydrocyclone was tested at the Wytch Farm production facility (Hadfield 1996 and 1997), which was operated by BP …

During the operation of the desander, after the liquid containing sand particles enters the desander, it first enters the slurry storage tank. In the slurry storage tank, the sand in the liquid will naturally settle due to gravity, forming sediment. There is usually a sand discharge port at the bottom of the slurry storage tank, and the ...
