Don't Hold Your Well Back

Sandtinel just works better.

Sandtinel Sand Separators are setting the standard for sand separation with trailblazing solutions for multiple applications that are simple to set up, operate and monitor. Boost productivity, eliminate downtime, reduce fugitive emissions, and lower overhead costs, all while minimizing your operational footprint.

Accelerating Production

For smarter, greener, safer and cleaner operations. 

Advanced 
Emissions Control 

Beyond offering superior sand separation, VL-TEK™ serves as an evaporative emission control system trapping gas and vapor. 

Increased
Efficiency

Our sand separators are increasing efficiencies and saving money on every job by capturing up to 60% more sand. 

Unmatched 
Operator Safety

Sandtinel vessels allow for quick, easy and safe sand removal with the turn of a valve. Zero filters, zero raking, zero exposure. 

Smaller Equipment Footprint

Multiple legacy and static sand control devices can be displaced with a single high-performing and robust Sandtinel vessel.

Superior Sand Separation 
with Sandtinel

Uncover the distinct advantages of Sandtinel's VL-TEK separators over traditional cyclonic & spherical separators:
Superior Efficiency : 
Increase your sand removal from 50-80% to 90-100%
AMPLE STORAGE : 
Store up to 600 lb. of sand, based on flow velocity.

REDUCED EMISSIONS : 
LOWER EMISSIONS BY UP TO 98% DURING DUMP OPERATIONS
Superior 'TURNDOWN' : 
ELIMINATE EFFICIENCY LOSS AT LOW FLOW RATES

Choose the Right Sand Separator

The Sandtinel’s fleet provides superior separation efficiency, high storage capacity, better turndown performance, and overall, more effectively manages produced sand compared to traditional options.

The Science Of Sand (horz White)
Sandtinel Field Comparison Poster (graph)

For specific well conditions, Sandtinel offers CFD simulations, performance estimates, emissions comparisons, and more upon request. Advanced units and configurations are also available to tackle more challenging conditions.

Not all sand separators are Equal

Producers have learned that not all sand separators are equal. Advanced Computer Fluid Simulations (CFD) as well as field trials across major basins show that Sandtinel's Vapor Lock technology and high-performance separation efficiency consistently outperforms alternative technologies and imitators.

The Sandtinel Advantage

  • 95+% separation efficiency via Vapor Lock technology.
  • Enhanced well production due to reduced pressure drop.
  • Increased sand storage capacity, reducing the need for frequent dumps.
  • Emissions reduction by 55x during dump operations compared to other technologies.

Vapor Lock Platform 
Technology (VL-TEK™)

The VL-TEK™’s 95%+ sand capture rate is undisputed & unrivaled in the industry.

Found at the core of every vessel, Sandtinel's VL-TEK™ technology is fundamental to each generation’s design, resulting in superior separators that continue to outperform competing separators in all measurable categories, greatly lowering overall OPEX.

The Process

Diamond Icon Placeholder
1

Vapor Lock

In the upper hemisphere, a large cross-sectional saw-tooth dome creates a vapor lock and temporarily forces a phase separation of the gas from the liquids in the incoming mixture.

Sand Lock 

The lower hemisphere consists of a cross-shaped vortex breaker and anchor plate designed to capture and lock in sand at the bottom of the vessel for effective removal and monitoring.

Sand Measurement 
System (SMS)

Monitor sand weight in real time with the SMS.

The Sand Measurement System (SMS) utilizes calibrated load cells to accurately measure the amount of sand collected by the separator on each dump providing a complete view allowing field personnel to be more efficient and proactive with drain cycles.
