Profab KO412 Flare Knockout Pot, 12 3/4" OD x 6'-0" S/S

The Profab KO412 Flare Knockout Pot is a vertical pressure vessel designed for separating liquids from gas streams in oil and gas processing, particularly before flaring to prevent liquid carryover and ensure safe operations. Manufactured in 2014 by Profab Construction & Supply, this unit features a cylindrical carbon steel construction with an outer diameter of 12 3/4 inches and a straight shell length of 6 feet. It is certified under ASME standards with a National Board number (NB 178), making it suitable for low-pressure applications in upstream oilfield environments, such as well sites or processing facilities. Key benefits include efficient liquid knockout to protect flare systems, compact design for easy installation, and robust build for durability in harsh conditions. Drawbacks may include limited capacity for high-volume flows compared to larger separators and potential need for periodic cleaning due to residue buildup. Compared to similar products from competitors like Sivalls or Cimarron, the Profab model offers cost-effective fabrication with customizable ports, providing better value for small-scale operations. It includes multiple side nozzles for inlet/outlet and drain connections, typically 3-inch, enhancing versatility. This used unit shows signs of wear but remains functional for secondary market use.
