What I call "sand" is fine grain impurities mixed in with the sawdust or chips prior to forming the pellets so they are imbedded in the pellets. When the pellets are burned the impurities will partially fuse form a pumice like layer in the bottom of the burn pot. It is easy to clean out and a small amount is not a real problem. However a lot is a problem as it will clog-up the burn pot.
