Contents Notes
A full-scale experimental study was performed to determine the efficiencies of flare burners for disposing of hydrocarbon emissions from refinery and petrochemical processes. With primary objectives of determining the combustion efficiency and hydrocarbon destruction efficiency for both air- and steam-assisted flares over a wide range of operating conditions, the study provides a data base for defining the air quality impact of flaring operations. Test results indicate that flaring is generally an efficient hydrocarbon disposal method for the conditions evaluated.
