Description
This webinar builds on the foundational principles of flare system analysis and provides a deeper look at the practices, scenarios, and evaluation methods used during comprehensive flare reviews. The presentation covers global and individual relieving events, hydraulic modeling considerations, knockout drum performance, radiation analysis, and common pitfalls found in existing facilities. Viewers will learn how to identify credible scenarios, evaluate flare network performance, and select appropriate mitigation strategies for back pressure, slug flow, radiation, and equipment limitations.
Key Topics Covered
- Identification of individual and global relieving scenarios
- Differences in total, partial, and utility driven failures
- Modeling flare hydraulics, velocities, reverse flow, and two phase conditions
- Knockout drum retention time, liquid vapor separation, and overfill concerns
- Radiation and dispersion evaluation methods and considerations
- Mitigation approaches for high back pressure, slug flow, and undersized equipment
What You’ll Learn
- How to determine controlling scenarios for headers, sub headers, knockout drums, and flare tips
- How inconsistent assumptions can inflate loads or create non credible cases
- How to select hydraulic solvers, input requirements, and review software outputs
- How to evaluate liquid relief, pocketed piping, vibration risks, and temperature limits
- How to determine when load reduction, safeguard evaluation, QRA, or piping modifications are appropriate
Who This Webinar Is For
Process engineers, project engineers, PSI and PSM professionals, facility engineers, and operations personnel responsible for maintaining and evaluating relief and flare systems across refining, petrochemical, chemical, and midstream facilities.
