Abstract
One of the safe and pressure
relieving systems in oil and gas refineries as well as petrochemical complexes,
is the relief header with the flare stack being the last component. In this
network all the excess gases are collected and sent to flare stack to be burnt.
A great amount of these gas mixtures has a high heating value and in some cases
it can even be used as the raw material forvarious units.
It is clear that burning
this gas mixture in flare stack causes environmental problems like air and
noise pollution and also is a financial waste. In this paper a step by step
approach and calculations are given to calculate and discuss...
