The most refined solids management technology in the world
The only dual cyclone desander on the market with a 2x2 meter footprint. With a fit-for-purpose, modular design, DualFlow was strategically developed to create a flexible, stackable and compact solution that fits in easily on crowded platform environments.

Next generation cyclone technology
The DualFlow contains two patented, single liner cyclones in one unit. As one vessel is isolated and flushed, production continues through the other. 560 sensors return real time data on flow rate, pressure, temperature, weight, and asset integrity. Delivering a proven separation efficiency of 99.8%, and a dynamic range of 20 micron to 10mm solids up to 20 000 bbl/day and 20 MMscfd. The result is continuous production and better asset management, as the data allows early stages of erosion to be managed.
Maintain optimal flow rates
Proven to optimise production, DualFlow uses its real time data to tune well flow. By maintaining optimal flow rates, production is maintained at a consistent level, avoiding drops in production from choking back the well. This maximises solids free production, lowering the cost per barrel and enhancing production performance.
Improving production
The first automated solids management system
Capable of automated, remote operations, the system delivers solids-free production flow while reducing operational costs and eliminating risks related to human error. Connected to the system’s real time data, the DualFlow is aided by a control system which can perform advanced prediction simulations in real time.
Digital integration
Actively improves ESG reporting
With 560 sensors integrated into every DualFlow, the key is in the data that is captured in real time. This knowledge enhances decision making and reduces the need for carbon heavy interventions.
