ABSTRACT:
A sand separator is used in a well from which particulate bearing liquids are extracted into tubing for transport up the tubing. The separator causes the fluid bearing particulate matter to be accelerated. This acceleration in turn causes the particulate matter to separate from the fluid because of the higher mass and greater inertia of the particulate matter. The fluid, after separation of the particulate matter, is drawn up through the pump. The particulates preferably accumulate within a sand trap which can be pulled from the well and emptied as desired. In the case wherein the particulate matter tends to float within the liquid part of the mixture, a strainer is added after the initial inertia separation of particles from the liquid. The strainer prevents the passage of particulate matter which would tend otherwise to float upward into the output port by which the liquid passes up the tube.
