The 3" x 3" Trash Catcher is a vital, high-pressure filtration component meticulously engineered to safeguard downstream equipment in demanding oilfield operations. Designed for direct insertion into 3-inch pipeline systems, this robust unit effectively intercepts and contains damaging particulates such as sand, scale, proppant, and other foreign debris that can lead to erosion, blockages, and premature failure of sensitive machinery. Its symmetrical 3-inch inlet and outlet connections ensure straightforward installation and compatibility with standard high-volume flow lines. Fabricated from high-strength materials, this trash catcher is built to withstand extreme pressures and corrosive environments, providing a reliable first line of defense. Supplied by Blaze Sales and Service, it is an indispensable asset for ensuring the longevity of your valuable assets and maintaining continuous, efficient flow in high-pressure oil and gas applications.

FEATURES:

  • Trash Catcher is based on easy handling designs and manufactured from highest quality material.
  • They are suitable for both standard and sour service.
  • All parts are subjected to phosphating.
  • Screen size is available in 1/4" & 3/8" hole.
  • Available sizes are (3"X 2") and (3" X 3") end connections.

Detail Features:

  • Dedicated Debris Filtration: Specifically designed to effectively capture and retain sand, scale, drilling debris, and other foreign particles, preventing them from reaching and damaging sensitive downstream equipment.
  • Symmetrical 3" x 3" Design: Features uniform 3-inch inlet and outlet connections for easy, in-line installation into main flow lines, simplifying piping configurations.
  • High-Pressure Compatibility: Engineered and constructed to withstand the severe pressures commonly encountered in oilfield operations, ensuring reliable and safe functionality.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from premium, high-strength alloy steel, the body is built for superior structural integrity and exceptional resistance to erosion and corrosion, guaranteeing long-term durability.
  • Extended Equipment Lifespan: By actively removing harmful particulates, this catcher significantly extends the operational life of expensive downstream components, leading to reduced maintenance frequency and lower replacement costs.
  • Optimized Flow Dynamics: Internally designed to minimize turbulence and pressure drops while maximizing debris capture efficiency, promoting smooth and efficient fluid handling.
  • Simplified Maintenance Access: Features an accessible mechanism for quick and straightforward cleaning and inspection of the internal screen or basket, minimizing operational downtime.
  • API Compliant: Manufactured in accordance with relevant API standards (e.g., API 6A) to ensure interchangeability, safety, and consistent performance within the oil and gas industry.

Application:

The 3" x 3" Trash Catcher is an indispensable component for various high-pressure oilfield applications where clean fluid flow and equipment protection are crucial:

  • Upstream of Sensitive Equipment: Placed before pumps, meters, chokes, valves, and other critical instruments to prevent damage from solid particulates.
  • Well Testing and Flowback Operations: Essential for filtering out sand, proppant, and other solids from the well stream during initial production and clean-up phases.
  • Production Lines: Integrated into production manifolds and pipelines to protect downstream processing equipment and reduce pipeline erosion.
  • Drilling Fluid Systems: Used to maintain the cleanliness of drilling mud, protecting mud pumps and other circulating equipment.
  • Chemical Injection Systems: Ensures clean fluids are delivered to injection pumps and nozzles, preventing blockages and wear.
  • Any high-pressure fluid handling application where the presence of debris poses a threat to system integrity or performance.
