slug catcher water removal after hydrostatic pressure
(OP)
We are in the final stage of the construction of a natural gas slug catcher. We are looking a way for removing the water after hydrostatic test pressure. The catcher has only two nozzles, one for drainage and one for level measurement (4"). Both nozzles are installed appr. 3m high from the catcher's main pipes (as the vessel is installed underground with it's nozzles above ground) and it is not easy to remove or rotate the vessel so as the water could be removed for the nozzles by gravity.
The catcher is vessel pipe 24" appr. 2x6m pipes and has a volume of 4000lt.

Seriously, why can't you pressure it up and blow the air out the normal flow path?
