Under certain pipeline operating conditions, gas and liquid are not evenly distributed throughout the pipeline but travel as large plugs with mostly liquids or mostly gases, these large plugs are called slugs.

A slug catcher, located between the outlet of the pipeline and the processing equipment, is a vessel with enough buffer volume to store the largest slugs expected from the pipeline system. The liquid and gas product can then be moved to the processing facility at a controlled rate.
