Wellhead Desanding

The Wellhead Desander is a unique application of Desanding Hydrocyclone technology, able to operate at Wellhead conditions and withstand severe erosion.

In some production operations it is necessary to eliminate sand at the front end of the process. Whilst this protects all downstream equipment from problems associated with solids ingress, it does require the hydrocyclone to operate in a high pressure / highly erosive and challenging environment. Alderley's design and construction takes these factors into account and provides a practical means of handling solids resulting from well start-up and production fluids plus specialised applications such as under balanced drilling.
