ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for separating and removing sand from fluid streams are provided. The apparatus is comprised of a closed separator vessel having first and second compartments therein. An inlet connection is attached to the vessel for introducing the fluid stream into the first compartment and filter means for separating sand from the fluid stream are disposed within the first compartment. The fluid stream is caused to flow from the first compartment through the filter means into the second compartment from where the fluid stream is removed by way of an outlet connection attached to the vessel. Conduit means attached through a wall of the vessel are disposed within the first compartment for conducting and periodically discharging sand wash liquid thereinto. Second filter means are connected to the conduit means for discharging the wash liquid and preventing sand from entering and clogging the conduit means and at least one sand outlet connection for periodically withdrawing wash liquid and sand from the first compartment is attached to the vessel.
