Specialized Desanders Inc. designs and manufactures proprietary equipment used to separate sand particles from multi-phase liquid or gas mixtures (referred to herein as 'desanders'). Their overarching challenge, is to stop all forms of erosion in pipelines associated with frac-sand and other solid particulates. The current research project aims to experimentally validate the performance of horizontal desanders and study the internal multi-phase flow physics. Solid particles (mainly sand) are considered a major problem in the gas industry since it causes erosion to the well-head equipment downstream of the well. A horizontal desander may be the best option for sand removal since it is scalable to different flow rates, operates at high pressures up to 10000 psi and can withstand severe sand production for long period of times without reaching the corrosion allowance of a rated pressure vessel.

Specialized除砂器公司设计和制造用于从多相液体或气体混合物中分离砂粒的专有设备（此处称为“除砂器”）。他们面临的首要挑战是阻止与压裂砂和其他固体颗粒有关的各种形式的管道侵蚀。本课题旨在通过实验验证卧式除砂器的性能，研究其内部多相流物理特性。固体颗粒（主要是沙子）被认为是天然气行业的一个主要问题，因为它会对井的下游井口设备造成侵蚀。卧式除砂器可能是除砂的最佳选择，因为它可以扩展到不同的流量，在高达10000psi的高压下工作，并且可以承受长时间的严重出砂，而不会达到额定压力容器的腐蚀容限。
