Process problems

Condensate, not removed from the gas in the separator, frequently causes severe damages, such as piston rod failures when leading to a liquid slug. It can be detected with the analysis of the piston rod position. Feature Condensate, not removed from the gas in the separator, frequently causes severe damages, such as piston rod failures when leading to a liquid slug. It can be detected with the analysis of the piston rod position. Another way to detect liquid carryover is provided by the crosshead slide acceleration sensor when incompressible liquid is pressed through the discharge valves. Both analyses are highly recommended as shutdown signals.
