36" x 15' x 1440 psi
4 Phase Test Unit w/10,000 psi Sand Trap
This trailer mounted test separator pictured above includes a 4th sand phase
inside the 36" x 15' separator, and a 10,000 psi sand trap. The customer
requested a heavy duty unit that could withstand the rigors of traveling
back-country roads as well as high pressure jobs. In addition to the 4th phase,
the separator includes a sparger which facilitates removal of accumulated sand
without shutting in the well. Another unique feature is the hydraulically
powered 10K sand trap which is mounted in a frame that allows it to rotate 90
degrees from the horizontal travel position to vertical operation with the push
of a button. Click here to see more pictures of this

We built the test separator shown
above from a surplus 3 phase separator for an overseas customer. Requirements specified it be able to operate in a variety of environments including
off-shore, swamp, jungle, and desert. It features a full lifting frame with roof surrounding a 42" x 10' x 1440# 3 phase separator.
Enhancements include a built in shrinkage tester, a comingle manifold with by-pass capability, and a grated floor with sealed pan to capture spills.
The unit has a 4" Daniel Sr meter run, Barton Chart Recorder, Halliburton flow meters, and three site glasses showing interface, oil, and water levels.

captured by a sand weir and can then be blow out using the built-in sand
sparger. The test separator does not have to be shut in during the sand
purging process. To the right is a close up of the connections and comingle
manifold on the same unit. |
