Abstract

The invention relates to a separator (1) for separating particles from a well fluid, wherein the separator (1) comprises: an inlet (2) for the well fluid with the particles, to a main channel (3) from an inlet (2) to a first outlet (4) for partly or fully filtered well fluid from the main channel (3); one or more sump (8) for catching particles, wherein the sump generally are arranged under the main channel (3), wherein one or more sumps (8) comprising a second outlet (10) with one or more transportation devices (12) for particles to an outlet pjpe (14) with a particle outlet (16) for the particles. The separator (1) comprising at least one filter screen frame (6a) with a bottom edge (63a) directed towards the sump (8).
