A screen apparatus for improved separation of particulates from a fluid stream. The screen is configured and arranged to filter relatively large particulates from the fluid stream as the fluid stream passes from a storage chamber of the tank to a tank outlet. The screen is removably affixed to a diverter, such as a baffle, used to divert a portion or all of the fluid into the storage chamber. The screen is preferably shaped to substantially conform to the shape of the diverter to aid in the smoothing of the fluid flow within the retention section of the tank. The screen may be entirely porous, or it may be non-porous at its leading edge to minimize particulate build-up at the transition from the tank interior wall to the screen. The apparatus may optionally include a second screen to provide additional filtering of floating particulates as the fluid level in the tank exceeds the crown elevation of the inlet.

A high flow bypass arrangement for the separation system may include an upper baffle and a lower baffle or a screen instead of the lower baffle. The upper baffle is set closer to the center of the tank than the lower baffle or screen, thereby providing more volume for flow diversion behind the upper baffle.

A solenoid operated valve constructed in accordance with the teachings herein utilizes multiple solenoids which each actuate their own respective valve member. There is a one-to-one relationship of valve members to solenoids. This same one-to-one relationship exists between the valve members and a plurality of passages arranged along a flow path through the valve. Each solenoid is operable to independently move its associated valve member from a closed position, where the valve member is seated against a partition wall defining the passage to entirely prevent fluid flow through its associated passage (or only allow for a controlled leakage flow), and an open position, where the valve member allows fluid flow through its associated passage.

The method pertains to the oil and gas industry and can be used in the development of producing formations. A producing string (6) together with a sealing device (7) are lowered into a well (1) and the well (1) is divided into an upper cavity (8) and a lower cavity (9) with the aid of said sealing device (7) to establish a hydraulic connection between the well opening and the upper cavity and between the lower cavity and the producing formation, respectively.
