1. A debris separator comprising:
- a plurality of modular components that are each modular by including at least one coupler formed so as to be connectable with a coupler of another component of the plurality of modular components, the plurality of modular components connectable together by the couplers into an assembly that is positionable downhole in a well to separate debris from wellbore fluid passed through the assembly.

Abstract
A downhole system can include multiple sub-components of a downhole debris separator assembly that is modular. The system can also include multiple couplers arranged on or among the sub-components of the multiple sub-components. Each of the couplers can connect with others of the couplers in different combinations to form respectively different configurations of the downhole debris separator assembly.

8. A method comprising:
-
inserting a first component into a tubular, the first component included in a set of components that fit together in different combinations to form respectively different configurations of a modular debris separator assembly that is positionable downhole in a well to separate debris from wellbore fluid passed through the assembly; inserting a second component of the set into the tubular; and coupling the first component with the second component so as to form at least a part of the modular debris separator assembly. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
a first sub-assembly of a modular debris separator assembly that is positionable downhole in a well to separate debris from wellbore fluid passed through the assembly; and a number of additional sub-assemblies of the debris separator assembly coupled in series with the first sub-assembly, the number of additional sub-assemblies selected so as to extend the downhole modular debris separator assembly to a target length. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
