    The document discusses different types of ground flares used to safely dispose of waste gases. It describes multijet flares that provide smokeless operation but have poor dispersion and potential pollution issues. Enclosed ground flares and multi-point ground flares address these issues by concealing the flame within a refractory chamber. Liquid flares safely dispose of waste liquids. Proper sizing of gas relief lines and consideration of acoustic fatigue factors is also important for flare system design.

    GROUND FLARE

    - The type which has been used almost exclusively is the multijet flare
    (enclosed types)
    - Smokeless operation as well, but with essentially no noise or
    luminosity problem, provided that the design gas rate to the flare is not
    exceeded.
    - However, since the flame is near ground level, dispersion of stack
    releases is poor and this may result in severe air pollution or hazard if
    the combustion products are toxic or in the event of flame-out.
    - Capital and operating cost and maintenance requirements are high.
    Enclosed Ground Flares

     To provide smokeless operation inside of a combustion chamber that


    completely conceals the flare flame
     The combustion chamber is refractory lined to provide long service
    life and significantly reduced noise levels
     Typically installed in crowded areas of a plant, in close proximity to
    other processing equipment
    Advantages

     Clean, smokeless burning for a range of flare gas compositions


     No radiation outside the unit
     No visible emissions
     Low noise
     No air or steam assist required
    Liquid Flare
    • Dispose of off-specification, excess, or production liquids
    • Safe and effective method for disposing of waste.

    Liquid Flare systems operate to dispose of wastes from the following


    applications:

    • Flare system knockout drums


    • Lubricating fluids
    • Pipelines
    • Other applications
    Multi-Point Ground Flare
    • flare gases are usually very heavy of waste gas.
    • are designed and engineered to meet specific process requirements for
    pressure, flow, radiant heat, noise, and flame visibility control

    Typical Applications
    • Plants in densely populated, residential, or environmentally sensitive
    areas
    • Very high capacity flare systems where elevated flares are impractical
    • Near airports where elevated flares are unsuitable
    Ground Flare Model

    • EP- MBGF Multi Burner Ground Flare


    • EP- EGF Enclosed Ground Flare
    • EP- Temperature Control Ground Flare
    • EP- BPF Burn Pit Flare
    • EP- NDC Natural Draft Combustor
    • EP- FDC Force Draft Combustor
    SIZING OF GAS RELIEF LINES - FLARE

    • All flare lines shall be designed to keep the


    ρV2 < 200 000 kg/ms2 criteria.

    • It also included PSV line/piping.

    • Where the ρV2 criteria will not be met, additional calculations will be
    required to document that the selected pipe size is still acceptable. This
    involves evaluating piping stress levels, supporting, noise etc.
    The selection of piping specification must consider the effect of acoustic fatigue,
    which are affected by factors such as:

    • relative differential pressure in upstream restriction device


    • temperature in the flowing gas
    • molecular weight of flowing gas
    • pipe diameter and wall thickness
    • mass flow rate
