Knockout Drums, also known as Knockout Pots or Flash Drums, are essential components in various industrial processes, particularly in the manufacturing sector. These devices are primarily used for the separation of liquids and gases in process plants. They play a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency and safety of the operation by removing unwanted liquids from gas streams.
Knockout Drums are designed to handle the separation of entrained liquids from gas streams. When a gas stream containing liquid droplets enters the drum, the velocity of the gas decreases. This reduction in velocity allows the liquid droplets to fall out of the gas stream due to gravity, settling at the bottom of the drum. The cleaned gas then exits the drum from the top, while the collected liquid can be drained from the bottom.
