A Horizontal Knock-Out Drum (KOD) is designed to remove entrained liquid droplets from gas streams before they reach downstream equipment such as flare systems, compressors, and gas processing units.
โ
Separates liquid from gas using gravity
โ
Minimizes pressure drop
โ
Protects downstream equipment
โ
Handles large v***r flow rates efficiently
โ
Improves plant safety and reliability
Its horizontal design provides a longer residence time, allowing liquid droplets to settle while dry gas exits from the top.
Understanding the role of a KOD is essential for process, chemical, and oil & gas engineers involved in plant design and operations.
