The document discusses the design of a flare knock-out drum (KOD) used to separate liquid from gas before the gas enters the flare. Key points:
1. The KOD separates liquid droplets from the gas and provides adequate residence time for separation of droplets 300-600 microns in size.
2. Sizing is based on API 521 standards and provides 20-30 minutes hold-up time for maximum relief liquid. No internals are used to facilitate separation.
3. The KOD elevation determines the pipe rack elevation and is set based on pump net positive suction head requirements and options to reduce elevation such as using a vertical can pump within a pit.
