Abstract
A separator system includes a separator including an inlet configured to receive a mixed fluid, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The separator system includes a pressure tank physically coupled to the separator, and including a partition wall defining a collection chamber and a separation chamber in the pressure tank, a first inlet communicating with the collection chamber and coupled to the separator to receive at least some of the solids component from the separator, and a second inlet communicating with the separation chamber and in communication with the separator. The second inlet is configured to receive at least some of the liquid component and the gaseous component from the separator. The pressure tank also includes a first drain in communication with the collection chamber, and a first liquid outlet in communication with the separation chamber. The pressure tank includes a gas outlet in communication with the separation chamber.
