Pollution reduction from flares by swirl vanes in a cross-flow
The effect of swirl on the performance of a flare stack was experimentally investigated as a passive control technique for combustion in a cross-flow. The burner comprised a circular fuel nozzle with a co-annular airflow, swirled by a concentric vane swirler, with a crosswind of air at the flare tip. It was found that the flames issuing from swirl-vane flare tip were shorter and had wider flame ...

Australia – breaking records
The Australian Carbon Tax system came into force on July 1st 2012. The race against the clock to design, build, install and start-up the first systems prior to this date began just before Christmas 2011; however, the successful installation and operation of three Hofstetter flares four years ago was the actual starting point for these projects. Compliance with the strict mining standards, ...

Flare minimisation via dynamic simulation
This paper describes a project of flare minimisation during plant startup by using dynamic simulation. Dynamic simulation was developed for recovery area in an olefin plant and used to examine startup procedures: approaching shutdown; startup with recycle ethane; starting the cracked feed and increasing the feed to normal production rate. The dynamic simulation gives an insight into the process ...

EPA Eyes Flare Operations
Control of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the natural gas and petrochemical industries is going to be more complex than ever in the wake of a recent EPA settlement with a major oil company focused on flare operations. The implications of the this settlement and the VOC emissions study are sure to be far-reaching, likely reducing the use of flares as control devices and increasing the cost of ...

U.S. EPA Proposes Substantial Refinery Flare Operating and Monitoring Requirements
U.S. EPA is proposing to amend the operating and monitoring requirements for flares at petroleum refineries. The proposed revisions are complex and are far reaching, and if promulgated, will affect all flares at petroleum refineries. U.S. EPA’s stated rationale for the proposed revisions is that the current requirements for flares included in the 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart A General ...

Replacing of mechanical compressors by gas ejectors in flare gas recovery systems
One of the main concerns of humankind in this century is the global warming induced by the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A promising process for controlling the atmospheric CO2 level is prevention of combustion in flares causing high losses of raw material and energy that could generate more desired products. In the present work, a flare gas recovery unit (FGRU) ...

Extended exergy accounting applied to the flaring practice in oil fields
An original procedure based on the Extended Exergy Accounting method is described and implemented in this paper. The goal is the quantification of the environmental externality linked to the chemical pollutants released by an elevated flare stack (SOx and NOx). The extended exergy calculations provide a measure of both the exergy flux released into the environment by the stack and its 'cost' in ...

Flare Operations Changes Come From Study Findings
EPA announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with Marathon Petroleum Company (Marathon) regarding allegations of Clean Air Act violations at Marathon’s Texas City and Detroit refineries. EPA developed the evidence by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) showing that several of Marathon’s flares were not controlling VOC emissions sufficiently, resulting in excess ...

Refinery flare gas H2S removal
A major Gulf Coast refinery was searching for a solution to reduce flare gas SO2 that was resulting from very high H2S concentrations during periodic venting events. Original considerations were limited to very costly upstream equipment changes or a sulphur recovery unit, all costing tens of millions of dollars. Macrotek was contracted to design and build a cost-effective H2S scrubbing unit to ...
