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 ...

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 ...

Why high temperature combustion of landfill gas?
Due to the accumulation of knowledge and the tightening of environmental law, the landfill technology has increasingly become concerned with the management of trace compounds in landfill gas. With landfill gas, contamination is through sulphur, chlorine, fluorine, halogenated hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Other trace elements such as volatile organic compounds (VOC), impose environmental ...

Oil refinery vapour gas case study
1.0 Evaluation of Refinery Gases Various refinery gases are generated in the process of oil refining. These vary, depending upon the type of crude oil being distilled, such as Reduced Crude distillation, or Naphtha cracker. For the purposes of this case study the description and range of refinery gases are those gases produced from refining Crude Oil and Reduced Crude only. Crude oil is the ...

Modelling industrial flares impacts
This document introduces a new software to estimate the atmospheric impact of industrial flares. The software allows to design stacks with correct height and diameter in order to minimise risks for workers and nearby structures. It also allows to estimate the thermal impact and acoustic impact of existing or future flares. Flame tilting due to the wind speed can be modelled with a simple ...

Multipoint systems measure flare gases – Case Study
To mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, many companies reuse their biogas for cogeneration, but the amount of biogas produced often exceeds the amount needed for cogeneration. In such cases, it is often not economical to purify, compress and store the gas for later use, so it is flared off. Accurate mass flow instrumentation is essential for these companies to comply with the new EPA ...
