Frequently Asked Questions About Process Equipment
A 3 Phase Separator is a pressure vessel that separates well fluid into three distinct streams: flashed hydrocarbon gas, oil/hydrocarbon liquids, and produced water. The separation is achieved through gravity, retention time, and internal baffling. Hero’s separators are designed per GPSA and API 12 guidelines with CFD-verified performance.
A liquid knockout system is needed whenever waste gas contains entrained liquids that must be removed before the gas enters combustion equipment (flares, vapor combustors) or compression systems. Liquid carryover can damage downstream equipment and reduce combustion efficiency, making knockout systems critical for reliable operations.
Yes — process equipment directly protects combustion systems. Liquid knockout vessels remove entrained liquids before they reach flares or vapor combustors, preventing flame instability, tip damage, and incomplete combustion. Proper separation upstream ensures your combustion equipment operates safely and at peak destruction efficiency.
While separators and knockout systems are not directly mandated by EPA, they play a critical role in maintaining compliance. Proper phase separation and liquid removal ensure that combustion devices like flares and vapor combustors operate within their certified parameters, which is required under EPA 40 CFR 60 regulations.
Yes. Hero Process Solutions offers both short-term and long-term rental of separators and knockout systems, along with comprehensive field services including installation, maintenance, inspections, and compliance testing. Our equipment is maintained and ready for rapid deployment.
