Sand-producing wells that are not equipped with a multiphase sand separator are subject to erosion, which can quickly present a dangerous situation. Our equipment protects our clients from blowouts, uncontrolled flows, equipment erosion, pollution and plugging of valves, control and measurement equipment. It can inflict expensive damage and shut down production for weeks at a time. The risks range from $10,000 seals and $30,000 pumps to regulatory intolerance and multimillion dollar catastrophic failures. Our goal is to make sure you have the proper equipment in place to get the job done as safely and efficiently as possible.
