Abstract
A cyclone separator includes a cyclone body having an inlet and an underflow outlet. The inlet is configured to receive a mixed fluid therethrough and into the cyclone body. An underflow is separated from the mixed fluid and directed to the underflow outlet. The cyclone separator also includes an inlet insert positioned in and coupled to the inlet, the inlet insert being configured to direct the mixed fluid generally tangent to an interior surface of the cyclone body, a cyclone insert positioned at least partially within the cyclone body, the cyclone insert including a conical cyclone, and a sand collection vessel coupled to the cyclone body and in communication with the underflow outlet. The underflow is directed to within the sand collection vessel when separated from the mixed fluid in the cyclone body.
