Oil and Gas Operation (Flare System Part 1)

A flare system is an arrangement of piping and specialized equipment that. collects hydrocarbon releases from relief valves, blowdown valves, pressure. control valves and manual vents and disposes of them by creating safe carbon dioxide and water vapor through combustion
Flares are important safety devices used in refineries and petrochemical facilities. They safely burn excess hydrocarbon gases which cannot be recovered or recycled.
A flare system generally consists of an elevated stack, means to maintain burning conditions at the top of stack, and means to prevent flashback within the system.
Flaring is an essential part of the LNG production process, ensuring the conversion of natural gas to liquid is carried out safely. During flaring, methane is broken down into water vapour and carbon dioxide, which has just 1/25th the greenhouse impact as releasing unburnt gas.
Flaring is appropriate for continuous, batch, and variable flow vent stream applications, but the primary use is that of a safety device used to control a large volume of pollutant resulting from upset conditions. Flares find their primary application in the petroleum and petrochemical industries.
The advantages for flaring are: Economically advantage to treat large quantities of solvent loaded gases. Normally no support of fuel is necessary to obtain good combustion. Good for strongly fluctuating or periodic emissions.
There are four major types of flaring tools: manual, hydraulic, single flare, and double flare. Single flaring tools are better for lower-pressure repairs like coolant or fuel lines. Because of the high pressure associated with brake lines, no one performing car repairs should choose a single flare for this job.
By watching this video, you will have a clear understanding on definition of flare system, design requirements, Constructional details and application of various flare system using in oil and gas industry.

Thanks for your hard work Hamsa. This subject is very useful as it applies to almost every facility. Just wanted to add a couple points. Liquid seals become less and less popular as flash back prevention device at least here in Canada. The reason is that glycol concentrations drop over time when mixed with water vapour from relief fluids. Therefore, it’s freeze protection concerns. Also, usually purge or some people say sweep gas is used to maintain slightly positive pressure in the flare header. Same as pilot gas, purge gas is supplied from critical fuel gas header designed to ensure that the gas is available even in plant shutdown conditions. One more fairly new design item related to flare systems is detonation arrestor installed downstream of FKOD close to flare stack inlet. As it comes from its name, the device is some sort of last resort to prevent flame propagation back to the FKOD and flare header.

Thanks for comment and motivation

[@sk-xv9lt]

kind request do not use slides, use board, write and draw rough diagrams, easy to understand and will remain in mind forever!

[@Protocol0328]

Thank you for making a video on flare systems! Please continue the series

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

More to come!

[@babekiryahia2773]

Thanks you for all good things and efforts, I think your voice somehow is low, you ahve putmicrophone more near

[@aslamanjali]

Thank you sir..searching for flare related videos ...at that time I feel that if u have posted video on this it would be useful ......today it happened...thank you again

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Thanks for the comment and motivation

[@dr.haseenah.5831]

Very informative. Expecting more.

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Glad you liked it

[@dharialmukhaizeem3044]

thx for the information. looking forward to explaining the WKO at oil & gas facility.

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Coming soon!

[@arunanair3269]

Thank you Sir

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Most welcome

[@khawer401]

Excellent Mr Hamza I am watching your lecture about oil and gas, really very fruitful information. My one question is it's possible if sweet gas after absorber having more co2, it can carry out glycol from dehydration unit.

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Thanks for the comment. Normally H2S and CO2 (acid gas ) is removing in sweetening process. No much CO2 available after this process, really not understanding your question in this regard

[@hadimuhammed5651]

Sir, please include air assisted smoke less flare in coming videos

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Thanks. Sure. Will do

[@arunanair3269]

Sir,Please make a video on ground flare system.

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Sure. will try

[@shubhamagrhari]

Sir add more detail about flare system

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Thanks. I will Try

[@arungandhi4528]

Super explanation thankyou sir and please make a video of produced water treatment like hydro cyclone and de gaser method all details with troubleshooting gauid......😊

[@InfosbyHAMSAVBAVA]

Thanks for the comment. sure will do

[@arungandhi4528]

Thank you for the reply sir .....😊
