Flare Radiation and Vent Dispersion Studies aim to evaluate the impact of flares or vents on sensitive areas within a facility. This evaluation measures the physical effects generated by flares or vents and determines any potential harm to personnel or equipment. These areas may include manned areas, equipment intakes, or other sensitive areas within a facility.
Tools Used for FLARE Studies
To conduct Flare Radiation and Vent Dispersion Studies, a combination of FLARESIM and/or PHAST is used. These computerized tools model the physical effects generated by flare or vent to assess potential harm to sensitive areas. FLARESIM is used for flare scenarios, while PHAST is used for flare flameout or vent scenarios.
Importance of FLARE Studies
Conducting Flare Radiation and Vent Dispersion Studies is important for oil and gas companies. They help to identify potential hazards and mitigate risk, which ultimately helps to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. This proactive approach to safety management is critical for the success and sustainability of oil and gas operations.
