1. Mechanical Design
All slug catcher vessels will be designed to the ASME Section VIII Division 1 or Division 2 code. Depending on pressure and size, a division 2 design might be a good option to reduce cost. See our technical articles on ASME Section VIII Designs to pick the right code for you.
2. Separation
Slug catcher vessels achieve varying levels of separation depending on the internal configurations. An empty vessel is typically designed utilizing API 12J calculations and can achieve anywhere from 50-200 micron separation with relative ease. Utilizing a vane pack, filter elements, or vortex separation a vessel can achieve >1micron separation. See our vortex separation technical articles to learn more.
3. Delivery
Delivery of a slug catcher vessel can range from 20 weeks for a small vessel up to 42 weeks for a 10’ ID X 60’ T/T for a larger vessel. Primary driver of longer deliveries are plate availability (mill runs can take up to 8-12 weeks). It also important to consider the cost of delivery for these vessels. Depending where it’s being shipped (example: Pennsylvania), a vessels freight cost can be as much as 50% of the vessel.
4. Single Source Vertical Integration
We do our own process design, fabrication, and testing in-house. That includes rolling, welding, heat treating, blast, and paint. This allows us to meet difficult impact tests, material chemistries, and overall quality levels unseen by many of our competitors.
