Moisture separator tank

The ABCs of PRM

K is for Knockout Tank

Knockout Tanks are used for the removal of water and water vapor from a process air stream, typically for protection of downstream equipment. Knockout tanks are also known as moisture separators.  

PRM Knockout Tanks are fabricated and manufactured in our main shop facility in North Carolina. Our design ensures highly efficient operation. These moisture separators are typically used with our Soil Vapor Extraction systems, Dual Phase Extraction systems, groundwater or soil remediation or protection of vacuum or pressure blowers. They can be incorporated in other processes to remove moisture. PRM standard knockout tanks are designed for 15 to 400 gallons liquid capacity. Standard aluminum construction with tangential inlet port for optimum liquid removal, internal centrifugal isolation ring, and 6” inspection ports. Inlet and outlet connections can be flanged or threaded. For applications where high GPM is expected an oversized unit with a mist eliminator is recommended.

  Moisture Knockout tanks are customized to your application with features and options you choose!
