Advanced Cyclone Technology
SmartSahara
upgrade that offers operators accurate live data on sand levels inside the accumulator
While the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone removes over 97% of sand from the production stream—more than any other sand separator on the market—operators need the ability to take the guesswork out of sand management.
The SmartSahara integrates Rocsole’s leading SoliDetect technology so operators know in real time how much sand they have captured into the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone accumulator.
With this key data in hand, operators can optimize the blowing down of sand at the right time and increase productivity at the wellsite.

No more guesswork with blowdown decisions: The SmartSahara continuously monitors the amount of sand in the accumulator, so operators no longer need to rely on timed or scheduled blowdowns, hourly blowdown estimates, or manual weighing. Instead, operators can automate blowdowns based on actual sand level, volume, and weight derived from internal quantification data.- Reduced number of blowdowns: With real-time internal sand quantification, operators don’t need to worry about sand carryover in the accumulator. The SmartSahara reduces the number of blowdowns to an open-top tank or pit, and reduces the erosion potential of valves and piping by minimizing the number of cycles with sand-laden fluid. Fewer blowdowns lead to less maintenance and chargeback costs, improving your bottom line.
- Real-time performance insights: Get immediate information on any issues in the accumulator, such as sand slugs, so your team can take action right away. There’s no need to wait until the next blowdown to assess the damage.
- Improved health, safety, and environmental (HSE) conditions: With an open-top tank, the SmartSahara minimizes environmental exposure and reduces trucking for water and sand disposal. Plus, fewer personnel are required at the wellsite, limiting their field exposure and chances of injury.
- Better wellsite productivity: With real-time internal sand quantification data, you experience consistent flow conditions with fewer interruptions and reduced wear and tear on the equipment. What does that mean for operators? Better operational efficiency, less downtime, higher performance.
- Optimized crew schedules and labor cost: Since operators can remotely monitor sand levels with the SmartSahara, they don’t need to have crew physically present at the wellsite for sand checks. We offer the ability to contextualize data through our eFlowback SCADA historian along with real-time data. This leads to lower labor costs and more predictable crew schedules.
- Fully mobile responsive system: Whether you’re in the field or at the office, you can track sand accumulation from wherever you are. The SmartSahara user interface is fully mobile responsive, giving you real-time sand accumulation data anywhere, anytime.
The SmartSahara is as versatile as your application
The SmartSahara works in a range of applications and is effective in closed loop quantification as well. In environmentally sensitive areas or sour gas wells that need to be fully contained, the SmartSahara still offers real-time sand quantification—no matter what kind of enclosed vessel is being used to dump sand.
Wherever the Sahara Advanced Sand Cyclone goes, Rocsole’s SoliDetect technology integrates into the system to offer highly accurate, real-time sand quantification data.
