Ground Flare
Ground Flare
since 1979 is a company specialized in the combustion technology field. Our company is capable to deliver complete package consisting of design, fabrication, field installation and start up of the supplied equipment. Thermoengineering is basically an engineering company that is capable to design combustion systems to meet clients specific requests. In the design of all our equipment, very special attention is brought to matters as air pollution, Nox, noise, safety and energy conservation. Flares, originally used in the oil and petrochemical industries, from initial oil and gas exploration, through transport, storage, refining, processing and distribution, are also applied in coal gasification plants, steel production mills, nuclear power plants, sewage treatment installations, chemical plants and offshore. Besides, computerized programs are available to help our customers in finding out the best solutions they are looking for, in a very short time. The performance of our products is the most modern and technologically advanced you can find today on the market and our equipment are generally realized to meet all European and American rules. The ability to develop, test, demonstrate and prove burners, flares, boilers and incineration systems alleviates many customers concerns regarding new equipment or applications. A worldwide organization of our agents and representatives is at our customers disposal for the quickest and best service or assistance that might be required.
Ist. Stage
Protection walls
has a wide range of advanced Ground Flare Systems products. Such products could be classified as per the following scheme The two basic typology systems are: Enclosed Opened
Ground Flares
The Open Ground Flare have the Opened following main characteristics: Suitable for elevated quantity of emergency gas discharge Opened Smokeless functionality at any instant flow rate Modular and versatile functionality
Enclosed
FPSO
The Enclosed Ground Flares are equipped with a vertical combustion chamber suitable for the natural air draft functioning and used for gas, liquid or combined emergency combustion. The combustion chambers are designed for the working temperature using the internals thermal protections suitable for the scope: Ceramic fiber with different density, for flue gas low exit velocity Refractory cement, for flue gas high exit velocity Refractory bricks, for high flue gas exit velocity and particular corrosion situation.
A particular application of the Enclosed Ground Flare is the installation on FPSO (ships for gas/oil extraction and treatment). This Provides the particular configuration of the equipment and adapt the limited impact with the external area.
Indifferently proper for the installation of both natural draught or forced draught burners
The Ground Flares are sized selecting a specific residence time allowing to reach very elevated levels of combustion efficiency under any atmospheric conditions.
The flame is completely contained inside the combustion chamber, therefore there is no need for external areas of respect
In case handling and transportation permits, Combustion Chamber could be supplied in circular sectors completely pre-assembled. In case not, it should be supplied in prefabricated panels ready to be simply assembled through bolted connections.
It is suggested the installation of an Open Ground Flare (OGF) single or multi stages type.
System description
External Gas distribution system The flared gas distribution system to the different flare stages is composed of a set of automatic and manual valves complete with the safety system (burst disc or pin valves) with relevant block valves. This components are located outside the flare protection shield in a free access area.
Internal Gas distribution system The internal gas distributor is composed of a set of underground or protected gas header distributors Burners For each stage, there should be a set of burners and their relative ignition and continuous pilots The internal burners and relevant ignition and continuous pilots are strategically located in the center of the dedicated and protected area in order to optimize the system functionality.
Protection shield or embankment. All around the ground flare area it should be erected a protection shield or an embankment that contains completely the flame.
The configuration of the OGF systems resulting from some design criteria that can be resumed as follow: Total flare burner number and burner disposal, consequently the dedicated ground flare area. Function of the gas composition.
Funtion of the different waste gas discharge scenarios and the allowable pressure drop at the flare battery limit. Function of the available type of utility.
Type of Ist stage burner (normally realized with a burner air or steam assisted) for the low pressure stream. Selection of ON/OF valve type and relevant safety device (pin, valve,burst disc). Number of ignition and continuous pilots, typology (electrical ignition, flame front ignition) and location. Purge gas quantity and functionality (constant flow, instantaneous and temporary flow, automatic, manual, etc) Drainage systems and functionality (automatic, manual, etc.)
In function of stage quantity and safety level required (normal one pilot for each stage as minimum). In function of utility type available and safety level required.
