Solids are an inevitable by-product of hydrocarbon recovery. Their presence, when unmanaged, has an undeniable impact on production rates, well productivity and asset integrity. Adopting a continuous approach to solids management improves field economics.
Maintain acceptable sand rate
Solids are typically managed by adapting the flow rate through the well. Choking back the flow rate to reduce solids return also reduces production. Extracting the solids and managing them at the surface, ensures optimal production can be achieved. Enhanced by real-time solids data analysis our systems enable wells to flow at a higher rate than the pre-defined Acceptable Sand Rate (ASR), generating additional barrels per day.

Remove intervention
Without a continuous approach to solids management, operations are at a constant risk of solids issues arising, especially fields with highly porous reservoirs. By adopting a solids management system as part of ongoing production, sand is continuously transported out of the wellbore, preventing sand accumulation, ensuring a clean wellbore. This reduces the need for intervention, saves costs and improves ESG reporting.
Aiding ESGQ goals




Protect asset integrity
Erosive by nature, solids can damage the production facility and downstream infrastructure.
Our future-proofed system is designed to boost flow assurance, while protecting asset integrity. By removing solids upstream of the separator, it is possible to minimise the mechanical wear. This delivers safer operations, reduces maintenance and removes the need for potential replacement of pressurised components.

Redundancy in design
Our patented dual cyclone technology, with two vessels contained in one unit, ensures redundancy. One vessel can be isolated and flushed, while production continues through the other. Zero downtime is proven.
Powered by data, our automated systems make adjustments to optimise production, based on real-time data and machine learning.


Remote condition monitoring and control gives operators the ability to view this data, via an online dashboard from anywhere in the world.
Digital integration
Progressive solids management
As a company we seek ingenious, achievable solutions and believe it’s possible to change conventional thinking and approaches to solids management. Data demonstrates that adoption of continuous solids management enables production in wells with broken screens, therefore reducing the skin value of the well.
