I found a covered device while looking through some photos and I'm having a difficult time pinpointing what exactly it is. There appears to be a handle and potentially a bleed port. Based off location, a blowdown would make sense, but I've never seen this sort of equipment for that process. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

I'm still none the wiser as to what that is.

What's the P&ID look like? Any make and model numbers on the pieces parts? Kind of looks, home made.

Good luck,

To a ChE, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.
 
I noticed a unibolt tag on it and after searching "unibolt blowdown" I ran into the following:

GrassyNol, Sorry, but no credit for answering our own questions. Could be a setup. :)

Reaction to change doesn't stop it :)
