The
Flare is a major part of the pressure relieving
system for hydrocarbon processing plants.
For most plants it is the last line of
defense against potential hazards. Flare
design should include thermal radiation limits,
explosion hazards, liquid carryover, noise,
temperature limits, and ground level concentrations
of combustion products.
In Hydrocarbon Service there has been
several flare line ruptures, therefore it is
something each Ethylene Plant should review,
particularly at every revamp or expansion.
