HULK High Flow VORT-X

HULK’s High Flow VORT-X eliminates failures caused by traditional desander tools that utilize internal spirals. It offers sand and solids protection for the entire life of your ESP system, keeping your ESP healthy and able to maximize production, ultimately allowing the same ESP to have greater drawdown and produce more barrels.

Developed for higher flow rate applications from the innovative VORT-X Sand Homogenization System that has over 1,000 successful installations in the Bakken and Permian.

Reduces ESP stage wear to increase production

  • Breaks up sand slugs to reduce severe pump wear with lab proven 95% separation

  • Homogenizes sand production with a full tailpipe over a large flow range

  • Boronizing available for high corrosion applications
