Ground Flare

04/07/2010 7:51 AM

Hello sirs,

Now I am working on ground flare system modification project. One of the problem which I have been requested to look after is to define the minimum fuel gas flow rate for the LP flare to maintain enough pressure for flaring. So does anybody know how to calculate those flow?

Thanks in advance.

Contact the original equipment manufacturer directly and discuss the requirements.

There is no magic number. Follow PWS and talk to the flare tip manufacturer.

You want to achieve a near stoichiometric gas/air mixture and to sustain a stable flame in ALL weather ocnditions. The OEM should be able to model this for you.
