A Closed Drain Drum is more than a storage cylinder; it is the safety buffer between routine liquid drains and the rest of your facility. During start-ups, pigging, blow-downs or equipment isolation, liquids can flash, foam or carry H₂S. The drum receives this unpredictable flow, equalises pressure and temperature, and lets operators route the liquid to a flare or treatment system under full control.
Where It Fits in the Kandym Plant
- Collects liquids from pumps, compressors, separators and small-bore drains.
- Quenches flash vapour so gas can be sent to flare with low liquid carry-over.
- Allows safe sampling and truck-out when required, reducing environmental discharge.
Process Benefits
- Reduced vent loading – flash gas disengages inside the drum, keeping flare headers smaller.
- Cleaner maintenance windows – operators drain lines to a single, sealed location, cutting down spills.
- Long service life – duplex nozzles plus HIC-tested shell fend off sulphide stress cracking in sour service.
- Regulatory confidence – U-stamp and NACE compliance simplify authority approvals.
