13.5 Industrial Flares
Industrial GeneralFlaring is a high-temperature oxidation process used to burn combustible components, mostlyhydrocarbons, of waste gases from Industrial operations. Natural gas, propane, ethylene, propylene,butadiene and butane constitute over 95 percent of the waste gases flared. In combustion, gaseoushydrocarbons react with atmospheric oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. In some wastegases, carbon monoxide (CO) is the major combustible component. Presented below, as an example,is the combustion reaction of +5O2>3CO2+4H2 ODuring a combustion reaction, several intermediate products are formed, and eventually, mostare converted to CO2and water.
0.012 cubic nanometers per second (nm3/s) (25 standard cubic feet per minute [scfm]) may rise to as high as 115 nm3/s (241,000 scfm). The required flare turndown ratio for this typical case is over 15,000 to 1. Many flare systems have 2 flares, in …
