English term or phrase: jetty knock out drum
I'm translating an installation/maintenance manual for a company that transports and stocks LNG (liquified natural gas). The term "jetty knock out drum" is an instrument used in this proces. It is all the context I have, sorry. :(

I think "knock out drum" as in "flare knock out drum" refers to a tank that is able to 'knock out' any possible flares/explosions should they occur. However, I have no idea what the jetty refers to.. The material? The colour?

Explanation:
Zo heb ik de knock out drum ooit vertaald. Dat wist ik zo nog wel.
Jetty moest ik terugzoeken... (vertaling ging over een olieterminal)

agree  Tineke Van Beukering: Mee eens, klopt helemaal. Ik heb een klant voor wie knock out drum altijd onvertaald moet blijven, is per klant verschillend natuurlijk. Petrochemie zit vol met Engels vaak. Als je het wel vertaalt is deze vertaling correct.
