Sahara: Sand management solutions for a range of applications
Exceptional performance that meets sand management challenges head on
Ask any experienced operator what they think of EnerCorp’s Sahara sand management technology, and they’ll tell you they never cease to be amazed.
When we first developed the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone, we took all cyclonic sand separators by storm with our sand capture rate of 97%+. While the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone can be customized for a range of demanding flowback applications, there are other sand management applications where a different solution is needed.
At EnerCorp, we’re all about devising fit-for-purpose solutions instead of trying to do the job with the wrong equipment. Our application engineers designed multiple Sahara sand management solutions — all built on the same foundational technology as the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone — so that operators can benefit from high sand capture rates in any scenario.
Smaller equipment footprint
Lower operating costs
Less HSE exposure
Reduced labor costs
Minimized environmental impact

Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone
No two wells are the same, which means you can’t use the same sand management equipment on every well and expect the same results.
The Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone, developed through years of research by application engineers, can be customized based on a number of factors:
Range of flow rates for oil, water, and gas- Varying wellhead pressures
- Various solids and sand particle sizes
- Expected sand volumes
Instead of flowing into test separators like with traditional flowback services, the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone can flow directly into the production facility because virtually all sand particles are removed from the production stream. The 97%+ sand capture rate is due to the way we customize the equipment for each well.
The result? Operators save time, money, and resources while minimizing environmental emissions.
High-Capacity Sahara Sand Cyclone
While the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone can reduce the equipment footprint on a number of wells, in some situations, such as high-producing wells with longer laterals over 15,000 feet, two Saharas can be required.
For operators that want to continue reducing the equipment footprint — along with HSE exposure, maintenance touchpoints, and labor costs — we developed a solution: The High-Capacity Sahara Sand Cyclone.
Built on the same technology as the original Sahara, this version has double the power and double the capacity. Operators no longer need to maintain two vessels with the High-Capacity Sahara Sand Cyclone, while still relying on the unparalleled 97%+ sand capture rate.
Sahara Facility Cyclone
For operators with centralized production facilities that are connected to dozens of wells in the steady state phase, the Sahara Facility Cyclone can minimize sand damage by ensuring virtually no sand enters the facility.
Unlike the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone and High-Capacity Sahara Cyclone, the Sahara Facility Cyclone is specifically designed to be used with multiple wells that are producing low amounts of sand at the same time. While sand production declines after flowback, sand doesn't just disappear. Using the Sahara Facility Cyclone can help operators minimize the accumulation of sand at the production facility while lowering the equipment footprint as separate sand management solutions are no longer required at each well.
Plus, the Sahara Facility Cyclone is operator owned, and can be easily moved to another production facility when needed.
e-Flowback
e-Flowback is EnerCorp’s latest innovation, combining industry-leading sand separation Sahara technology with automation technology, measurement systems, and cloud-based software. With the e-Flowback ecosystem, operators can enter the flowback job site of the future — one that is autonomously controlled and continuously monitored remotely.
While EnerCorp’s point solutions can offer operators a number of advantages, the real value is generated when they are used together as an integrated ecosystem. e-Flowback includes:
- Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone
- Automated choke manifold
- Automated blowdown unit
- Sand quantification unit
- Tank level monitoring system
- Automated control unit
- Cloud-based software
