CTB Unit Bulk and Test Sand Filtration Units

SandPro · Sand Management

An alternative to vessels on individual wells, flowing wells to a central tank battery as a bulk and test design strategy.

SandPro CTB Unit for central tank battery sand filtration

How It Works

How the CTB Unit Works

Reduces footprint on location while maintaining maximum sand removal and quantification from each well. Utilizing patented baffle plates, the unit creates an upward hydro-turbulence causing a harmonic vibration. This vibration causes solids to separate from the fluid as fluid and gas exit the unit.

As fluid enters the vessel it is directed to the bottom chamber where heavier solids are removed using centrifugal fluid movement. As the fluid moves upward to the top chamber it passes through the patented baffle system where fluid dynamics are changed, equalization occurs and harmonic resonance is created.

These key design features are crucial to eliminating collection of solids on the filter. Filters are custom designed in many sizes to fit all phases of the flowback and production operations, utilizing 100m, 200m or 300m filters to stop the finest of solids.

NxGen Flowback

A Different Type of Flowback

Utilizes the operator’s own facilities to separate fluids and gases rather than traditional flowback packages.

01

Drastically reduced rental costs

02

Eliminate potential environmental consequences of heavy solids through the flowline

03

Eliminate the cost of repairing washed flowlines

04

Eliminate the need for costly cleanouts and lost production
