2022年2月2日 · What is a Knockout Drum (KOD)? A knockout Drum (KOD) is a part of the flare header system and is used to remove liquids and oil from flare gases. A flare system is a compulsory addition to petroleum and natural gas refineries to ensure gaseous wastes are safely removed from the processing setup.

2021年8月30日 · A Knock out drum is a specific type of pressure vessel in the flare header system used to remove & accumulate any condensed & entrained liquids or liquid droplets from the relief/flare gases. This process equipment is also known as the flash drum, knockout pot, KO drum, knock-out vessel, or flare KO drum.

2020年11月25日 · The Knock out drum is a vessel in the flare header system designed to remove & accumulate condensed & entrained liquids from the relief gases.

2011年12月10日 · A knockout drum is suitable for a bulk separation of gas and liquid, particularly when the liquid volume fraction is high with stratified or plug flow in the pipe. Also, it is useful when vessel internals are required to be kept to a minimum, e.g., in …

Knockout Drum - Is a drum installed near the flare base, and serves to recover liquid hydrocarbons, prevent liquid slugs, and remove large liquid particles from the gas streams released from relief system.

A knockout drum is a tank or container specifically designed to remove solid particles, liquid vapors, and liquids from a gas stream. The name "knockout" refers to the physical process in which particles or condensed liquids are "kicked" or "ejected" from the gas stream.

The Knock out drum is a vessel in the flare header designed to remove & accumulate condensed and entrained liquids from the relief gases. Knockout drums are one of the main components in pressure-relief systems in industries.

Below is an animation of how a knockout drum works. The two-phase fluid enters the knockout drum. The gas and fluid separate partly first after hitting the deflector plate and for those fluids that still settles at bottom, the gas comes up due to gravity.

The Knock out drum is a vessel in the flare header designed to remove & accumulate condensed & entrained liquids from the relief gases. Both the horizontal & vertical design is a common consideration for the Knock out drum, which is determined based on the operating parameters as well as other plant conditions.

2024年11月7日 · Flare Knock-out Drum Liquid in the vent stream can extinguish the flame or cause irregular combustion and smoking. In addition, flaring liquids can generate a spray of burning chemicals— a “rain of fire”—that create a severe safety hazard.
