DESANDING APPARATUS AND A METHOD OF USING SAME

摘要

An apparatus and method for removing particulates from a multiple-phase fluid stream is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a treatment chamber having a fluid inlet for receiving the multiple-phase fluid stream. The apparatus also comprises a recovery chamber having a gas channel and a liquid channel in fluid communication with the treatment chamber at a gas and a liquid port, respectively. The gas and liquid channels converge at an intake port of a fluid outlet for discharging particulate-removed gas and liquid.

主权项

1. A desanding device for removing at least particulates from a multiple-phase fluid stream containing at least gas and entrained particulates, the desanding device comprising:
a vessel, at least a portion of the vessel forming a treatment chamber, the treatment chamber having a fluid inlet for receiving the fluid stream; and a recovery chamber having: a first, upper port in fluid communication with an upper portion of the treatment chamber for receiving gas therefrom, a second, lower port in fluid communication with a lower portion of treatment chamber, and a fluid outlet intermediate the first and second ports for discharging at least particulate-removed gas out of the treatment chamber.
