View source for Engineering:Choke manifold

In oil and gas production a '''choke manifold''' is used to lower the pressure from the well head. It consist of a set of high pressure [[Engineering:Valve|valve]]s and at least two [[Engineering:Choke valve|chokes]]. These chokes can be fixed or adjustable or a mix of both. The redundancy is needed so that if one choke has to be taken out of service, the flow can be directed through another one.   By lowering pressure the retrieved gases can be flared off on site.
