Application
The unrecoverable residues of oil and gas production are collected in the flare knockout drum and liquefied at high pressure. The recovered liquid, the condensate, collects at the bottom of the vessel and is disposed of. The non-liquefied gases are decompressed and burned in the flare system. To ensure efficient and safe operation of the vessel, the level inside must be very reliably measured.
