Questions regarding the flare system of production units?
Thread Content
Now, many refineries manage acidic gases in terms of flare operations. Hydrogen. The flare gas from polypropylene is burned in a separate flare unit – why is that? I hope experts can provide an explanation
Considering the load? Dry and wet torch? Looking forward to answers from experts.
There are also issues related to pressure level allocation and the flare treatment capacity.
Currently, refineries are faced with the issue of flare gas recovery; therefore, an independent flare line is usually set up for acidic gas flares. However, in some refineries, hydrogen and propylene flares are also incorporated into the acidic gas flare system. Are there any special considerations behind this?
If pressure ratings are taken into consideration, the pressure rating of acidic gas flares is the lowest, right? Then why are hydrogen and propylene also sent to the acidic gas flares? Looking forward to answers from experts
