Description
A choke manifold is an arrangement of piping and valves with adjustable choke valves. This assembly is primarily responsible for controlling flows and pressures in various industrial applications, such as onshore and offshore well testing and production operations. By implementing a choke manifold, operators and asset owners can adjust the flows and pressures that enter processing equipment, thus controlling production and minimizing equipment damage.
The most important element of the choke manifold is the assembly of choke valves. These valves are designed specifically to restrict flow when needed (hence the term choke). By adjusting these valves as needed, flows can be regulated as required.
