Abstract: A system and method for a sand trap. The sand trap has a separator, an adjustment block upstream of the separator, an inlet stream upstream of the adjustment block, and a first removable nozzle within the adjustment block. The removable nozzle can be modified as necessary to optimize separation within the sand trap. The method includes determining a first optimal diameter for a first removable nozzle and installing the first removable nozzle into said adjustment block. Next, a second optimal diameter for a second removable nozzle is determined. The first removable nozzle is removed and the second removable nozzle is installed.

Abstract: A tank system and methods of use for extracting sand and particulates from effluents, fluids, liquids, and muds are disclosed. The system uses pressure and cyclonic fluid dynamic based methods to extract, separate, weigh, and dump sand and particulates. The system comprises sand or particulate filtration or collection baskets that are hydraulically operated and scales that weigh the sand after separation from the fluidic component, prior to dumping. After separating the sands, the fluid is collected in a reservoir tank where it can be transported or removed from the site or otherwise disposed of as a liquid product.
