Knockout drum
Flare knockout drums (FS) are used in flare systems for associated petroleum gas treatment intended for combustion in flare units at gas-producing, gas-condensate and gas processing enterprises,from drip moisture, mechanical impurities and other suspended particles.Knock out drums are used to slow down gasses and allow liquids to fall out of the gas stream. Knock out drums can be installed either in the waste gas header, or in the flare stack base itself.Knock out drums can be configured in either a horizontal, or vertical arrangement. When horizontal, a knock out drum will be constructed with one gas stream inlet, and two outlets, which can then be joined with a manifold. Another configuration that can be used is one inlet with a much larger outlet.
