Caltec I-SEP

Caltec's I-SEP technology uses high centrifugal forces to separate solids from liquids inline and at operating pressures. The separation occurs in a compact separator unit that is around 50 times smaller than a conventional gravity separator. The clean liquid exits while the solids can be collected or sent to further cleaning. The technology provides benefits like a small footprint, low pressure drop, scalability, robustness, and suitability for high pressure applications.

FACT SHEET Solid-Liquid Separation

Solid-Liquid Separa tion


In-line Separation of Solids from Liquids at Operating Pressures

Technology Background

Caltec’s patented I-SEP technology can be used to separate


produced sand from mixtures of liquid and solids, in-line with
the process, at the process operating pressure.

How it Works

The fluid containing the solids enters the I-SEP; due to very high
centrifugal forces generated within the separator, the two
phases are very quickly separated. This gives a clean liquid phase,
containing only some very fine solid particles, typically below
50 microns.

The solids outlet can either be connected to a cartridge type I-SEP Solids compact separator
knockout vessel for collection and disposal of the solids or it can be
passed straight to a standard commercial solids cleaning package.

Where gas is also present, a Caltec gas/liquid compact separation


system can be placed in-line with the process, to further increase
separation efficiency.
