Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for separating solids in submersible pump applications are described. The solids separator of the invention removes solids from produced well fluid thereby reducing abrasive affects from those solids in electric submersible pump (ESP) well production applications and increasing the lifespan of the ESP assembly. A system for separating solids from produced well fluid comprises a solids separator located between an ESP pump and an ESP motor. A solids separator comprises a guide vane inducer, a cyclone configured to receive fluid from the guide vane inducer, a solids separation chamber substantially downstream of the cyclone, wherein a hard liner at least partially surrounds the solids separation chamber, a solids channel along at least a portion of the hard liner, and a solids exit located proximate the solids channel.
