Flares of the 1950s, '60s and '70s contrast sharply with today's technology for elevated and enclosed flares. This six page color reprint from Hydrocarbon Processing (RP94-12) provides practical information about:
- safety and reliability
- dependable pilots and ignition systems
- effective smokeless flaring without any flame pulsation
- noise or thermal radiation problems
- flare turndown ratios
- flare history in the hydrocarbon processing industry
- effective turn-back of all intruding air into elevated flare burners, stacks and headers to prevent burn-back in flare tips and stacks, extend burner life, eliminate costly and dangerous maintenance- and the possibility of catastrophic explosions.
Using new safety guidelines, older flare systems can also be redesigned to alleviate or eliminate operating problems, meet emission-performance criteria, and maintain a good-neighbor status with adjacent communities.
