Knock-out Pots
Features
- Heavy duty steel construction—
suitable for both vacuum and
pressure conditions
- High solid epoxy interior coating
and complete protection
against condensate corrosion
- Removable lid—for inspection
and service
- Full range of flanged connections
—2" through 24"
- Quick delivery—four weeks or
less for most orders
- Inexpensive insurance against
blower damage from liquid
carry-over
- Stainless steel mesh pad to catch free liquid and particulate matters. Filtration capacity can be 5, 10, or 20 microns
LFG Specialties will also custom engineer and manufacture knock-out pots and liquid separators to meet specific customer conditions and specifications.
Fabrication The KOP is fabricated/welded in accordance with ASME Code Section 8 for Unfixed Pressure Vessels.
Painting Interior: All interior surfaces including inlet and outlet connections are sandblasted to white metal.
A coat of Amerlock 400 high-solids epoxy coating is applied and allowed to dry a minimum of 2 hours. The dry film thickness to be a minimum of 5.0 mils.
NOTE: High-solids epoxy coating is specified for coating tanks and equipment subject to long-term service in highly corrosive environments. Any damage to the coating, due to causes beyond normal operation/exposure to corrosive condensate, will void the warranty on the epoxy coating.
Our carbon steel KOP with high-solids epoxy coating is considered superior to an HDPE unit in regards to withstanding temperature and pressure extremes. The life expectancy of both types of units can be considered as equivalent.
Exterior: All exterior surfaces are sandblasted to commercial finish. A coat of industrial grade zinc oxide primer is applied and allowed to dry a minimum of 2 hours. A color coat of industrial grade enamel is applied as final finish.
Testing
The KOP is assembled and all openings
sealed/plugged. The KOP is filled to a
minimum pressure of 5.0 PSIG with
compressed air. The tank must maintain
the pressure for 30 minutes to obtain
test certification.
