Flare System Design & Operation

During the operation of many hydrocarbon industry plants. there is the need to control process conditions by venting gases and/or liquids. In emergency circumstances, relief valves act automatically to limit equipment overpressure.

For many decades of the last century. process vents and pressure relief flows were directed, individually or collectively, to the atmosphere unburned. Gases separated from produced oil were also vented to the atmosphere unburned. The custom of unburned venting began to change later when increased environmental awareness and safety concerns created the desire to convert vents to continuously burning flares.. In this program you will learn about:

• Identify the different types of pressure safety valves & their major parts.
• Understand the concepts of pressure safety valve sizing with practical example
• Identify what is the flare? Why flaring? & different types of flare systems.
• Understand basic operation of the flare system & major equipment
• Calculate the purge gas required for the flare system & thermal radiation safe zone

This program addresses the needs of a diverse audience with an interest in Plant Start-up and Commission, including:

• Operation Engineers who have oversight responsibility for flare design & Operation
• Maintenance Engineers with direct line responsibility as well as staff support responsibility for delivering on effective flare operation.
• Technical personnel & supervisors involved in supporting flare operation.
