This high-pressure knockout drum is engineered for vapor-liquid separation in sour service environments and is well suited for upstream oil and gas processing operations. Typical applications include knockout service, inlet separation, and condensate removal in gas treatment systems. With an 1,872 PSI rating and 570 bbl capacity, it is ideal for both permanent and modular installations where large volumes of gas require pre-treatment before compression or processing.
Suitable for use in gas plants, well pads, early production facilities, and offshore platforms, this vessel is built to Canadian CRN standards and may be compatible with international project requirements. Its robust design and capacity make it an good fit for EPCs or producers seeking, high-performance separation solutions for harsh or remote environments.
