Are there any requirements for the spacing between ground torches and elevated torches? How to determine? In 50160, ground-level flares are considered as open-flame equipment; it is necessary to determine whether the area where such equipment is located qualifies as an open-flame area. Do the two torches need to be more than 60 meters apart?

The safety radius for elevated torches is 90 meters; installing ground torches (open-flame devices) at a distance of 60 meters clearly does not meet the regulatory requirements.

This can be analyzed by examining the mutual influence of visible thermal radiation.

Sh3009 also defines the concepts of operating torches and emergency torches. It seems unreasonable for these two torches to be 90 meters apart. The safe distance for torches is giving me headaches\ud83d\ude29

Based on parameters such as the composition and pressure of the flue gases emitted by the torch, options like a \"closed surface torch cluster\" or a combination of \"closed surface torches and open surface torches\" can be considered; for specific details, it is necessary to seek proposals from design firms or torch manufacturers.
