A desanding vessel is connected to a fluid stream containing entrained particulates flowing from a wellhead. The vessel comprises an upper freeboard volume wherein the fluid velocity drops and particulates fall from suspension. Preferably the fluid stream is introduced offset upwardly from an axis of a horizontally-oriented cylindrical vessel, released particulates falling to accumulate in a lower belly portion. The freeboard volume is maintained using a depending flow barrier spaced from the fluid inlet and adjacent the vessel's outlet. A cleanout enables periodic removal of accumulations.
