Routine flaring, also known as production flaring, is the combustion of natural gas during the normal oil production operation. This is normally done for natural gas that cannot be processed for sale or use.Continue Reading

Typical components of a Flare System include: Pressure safety valves, blowdown and manual vent valves, pressure control valves, tailpipes, flare knockout drums (KODs) and pumps, emergency gas purge, Flare risers, tips and associated hardware (fuel gas, ignition, steam or air), Associated monitoring and safety systems including infrared monitors.Continue Reading

A Flare System is an arrangement of piping and specialised equipment that collects hydrocarbon releases from relief valves, blowdown valves, pressure control valves and manual vents and disposes of them by combustion at a remote and safe location.Continue Reading
