Hello!
I'm working on the revamping of an existing gas vent system. It is part of a production cluster that collects gas from different gas wells. The cluster has a vent system that consists of a piping collector, a knockout drum and a vent stack.
We found out that the existing knockout drum is located within the battery limits, close to a test separator.
Considering that:
* API 521 establishes that any located vessel within the impact area mentioned in 7.1.2 shall be considered affected by the radiation
* The k.o drum is located within this area.
* Thus the k.o drum will be affected by the radiation.
I would like to know if there is any standard, recommended practice o whatever that advises that the k.o.drum should be installed in an isolated or distant place, away from fire from other equipment.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Regards
