Sand management systems and systems and methods to operate a sand management system

A sand management system for removing sand from fluids at a wellsite, the sand management system comprising:

• a first vessel having a first insert that separates solids comprising sand from the fluids;
• a second vessel having a second insert that separates solids from fluids, wherein the second vessel is fluidly connected to the first vessel;
• and
• a plurality of valves, wherein the plurality of valves comprise a plurality of actuating valves each configured to dynamically shift from an open position to a closed position and from the closed position to the open position to regulate fluid flow throughout the sand management system, and wherein the plurality of actuating valves dynamically shift in response to sensor detected pressure differential, fill level, and/or solid accumulation thresholds within the first vessel and the second vessel, whereby the pressure between the first vessel and the second vessel can be equalized and/or the first vessel, the second vessel, or both can be vented,
• wherein the solids comprise sand, and wherein the first insert and the second insert each comprises a cyclone or cyclone-shaped insert configured to initiate a cyclone effect to separate the solids from the fluids or a filter element insert configured to separate the solids from the fluids.
