SLUG CATCHERS

Surges Stop at the Inlet

A slug catcher vessel is a heavy-duty, engineered process package installed at the inlet of an oil and gas facility to intercept, buffer, and separate sudden, high-velocity surges of liquid (slugs) from a multiphase pipeline before they can flood downstream equipment.

HOW IT WORKS

Intercept. Buffer. Separate.

Intercept

Installed at the facility inlet, the vessel takes sudden, high-velocity liquid surges from a multiphase pipeline before they reach process equipment.

Buffer

Vessel volume absorbs the slug and lets liquid drain out at a controlled rate instead of all at once.

Separate

Gas and liquid split inside the vessel, with a mist eliminator removing entrained droplets before the gas leaves.
