Free-water knockout

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001582

A vessel designed to separate free water from oil and gas streams by gravity, typically as the first stage of separation. It allows water to settle out due to density differences, preventing it from entering subsequent processing equipment. This separation occurs without the addition of heat or chemicals.
