Slug Catcher Design Essentials: Buffering, Flexibility, & Operational Control
This technical flyer outlines slug catcher designs used to manage liquid surges in pipelines during two-phase flow and pigging operations. Systems are engineered with sufficient buffer volume to store large slugs and release fluids gradually to prevent downstream overload. Designs include harp-style and pressure vessel configurations, with modular construction and code-compliant engineering. Operational flexibility allows continuous use or on-demand deployment. Design features such as extruded outlets reduce fatigue, simplify installation, and minimize maintenance, while enabling safe, reliable handling of liquid and gas streams across varying pressures and flow conditions.
