Drip accumulator

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001198

A vessel installed at a low point in a natural gas pipeline to collect condensed liquids, such as water and hydrocarbon condensates. It prevents these liquids from accumulating in the main pipeline, which could impede gas flow or cause corrosion. The collected liquids are periodically drained from the accumulator.
