Slug Catcher Design Calculations

Put a saucer of beer in the garden.

Yep.

Cheap beer.............not the good stuff.

SLUG-CATCHER, SLUG BAIT

For other types of slugs, you can use a vending machine.

"1. Establish the slug size
2. Establish the slug frequency
3. Allow sufficient volume in teh separator (typically between normal level and high level setpoints) to accomodate this slug, at the same time ensuring that the slug volume can be disposed of before the next slug arrives.

You could also consider a slug contrl valve on teh separator inlet, which closes with increasing liquid level in the separator.

Better and more detailed means of minimising pipeline slugging, and simulating the same utilise dynamic simulators like OLGA."

Use OLGA

For a punch press, you could put a basket below it.

Baskets are open weave containers they won't hold beer.
