Slug Catcher

This slug catcher project was implemented to protect valuable production equipment from abrupt, large bursts of liquids entering a gas stream. This approach is typically used downstream of pipeline and pigging operations where large volumes of liquid can collect in the pipeline and are pushed through in a short time.

This 6000 bbl/day “Harp Style” Slug catcher completed May 2020 for a midstream company in the Permian Basin. 750 tons of custom 48” OD X 1.00 Wall Grade X65 DSAW line pipe were used for the fingers and inlet/outlet header manifolds.
