An inlet manifold is a piping and valving system that acts as a gathering point for multiple well streams. It allows the streams to be separated and gives the operators the ability to control where an individual well stream will be sent in the facility due to the valving setup. Inlet manifolds are as the name states at the beginning of a Central gathering Facility or a Multi-well facility. Inlet manifolds are also called valving manifold, Test/Bulk manifold, Multi-well manifold, inlet control manifold. The biggest benefit is in central gathering and the control the valving system provides to operating testing cycles vs. bulk separation as well as being designed for the capability to expand to more incoming well streams.
