Sand Trap

General:

API 6A Sand Trap, also known as Sand Catcher, Sand Knockout, Sand Filter, or Sand Separator, which enables separation of solids from gas during flowback and completion operations.And used to remove sand and solid from high pressure gas well effluent to prevent erosion of downstream equipment. 

 

Sand Trap are engineered to safely and efficiently separate solids from gas during flowback and completion operations. The proprietary sand knockout is designed to allow entrained solids to be removed upstream of flowback and production equipment, hence reducing damage and costly repairs. Sand Trap are typically manufactured with inside diameters ranging from 10" to 16-3/4" and working pressures ranging from 5,000psi to 15,000psi. Sand Trap can be supplied as bodied only to full assemblies, bypass valve lines and skids. Internal baffle plates are simple yet rugged and reliable design that provides a long life span and easy replacement.
