Introduction to flare system Flare stack sizing - simple approach Brzustowskis and Sommers approach
Flares
Convert flammable, toxic or corrosive vapors to less objectionable compounds by combustion provides a means of safe disposal of the vapor streams from its facilities, by burning them under controlled conditions such that adjacent equipment or personnel are not exposed to hazards, and at the same time obeying the environmental regulation of pollution control and public relations requirements
Flares
Factors 1. Availability of space 2. Characteristics of flare gas 3. Initial investments and operating cost 4. Public relations Two types 1. Elevated flare 2. Ground flare
