Improving of the methods applied for waste gas burning at oil and gas facilities
The volume and composition of emissions play an important role in the choice of combustion methods and torch designs. Recently, to solve the problem of burning exhaust gases in flare plants of various industries, to date is very relevant, they begin to introduce technologies for burning waste gases using closed-type flare plants. Flare plants with improved heads, providing for the use of steam and supply of primary air to the combustion zone are also being developed. New technologies allow smokeless combustion of exhaust gas and, as a result, significantly reduce emissions of toxic substances and unburned hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. This publication discusses the existing methods of burning off-gas at flare plants, describes technological schemes, highlights the advantages and disadvantages of various combustion methods, gives suggestions for using the most promising gas combustion technologies.
