Course Description
This intensive BTS training course will provide a comprehensive overview of process flare systems in oil and gas processing facilities. The course begins with the need for pressure control/overpressure protection, continues with the key engineering and design aspects including code considerations, and concludes with selecting and defining the components of flare, blow- down and relief systems. It outlines the many different flare technologies available and the type of application each is most suited for. It will also demonstrate to the attendee how to control smoke, noise, radiation and flame luminosity. Philosophy of Zero Flaring/flare gas recovery and its limitations will be covered as well. In addition to the scientific procedures and contents of this course, many real-life case studies and imple-mentations are planned to be presented in an open discussion forum with the participants. All case studies are developed from "Actual Case Studies".
This BTS training course provides both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills highlighting:
• A comprehensive overview of flare systems in oil and gas processing facilities
• Detailed types of flares and the importance of its components
• Operational considerations and pressure relief, flare system data management
• Monitoring and controlling production losses and identification of the types of leaks
• How to maintain the efficient operation of process units taking into account safety as the prime consideration
