It is also required to establish the minimum quantity ofpilot and purge gas to ensure safe, stable operation and readiness to take the maximum quantity ofwaste gas. There is need to measure ofpilot, purge and vent gas to the flare. The compositionand sulphur should be determined. After establishing base data, the refineries shouldaim towards using essentially pilot and purge gases in the flare. Under this conditionthe flare should be completelysmoke less. The above may be achieved by a cornbi nation ofthe following techniques: (i) reducing reliefgas to flare by management! good housekeeping practices; and (ii) balancing the refinery fuel gas system; and (iii) installing a gas recovery system; and (iv) using high integrityreliefvalves; and (v) applying advanced process control; (b) the flow rates of pilot, purge and vent gas to flare are to be monitored. In addition, vent gas should have onloffflow indicator. The opacity ofthe flare is to be measured; (c) for normal to 20% of max flare capacity the flare should be smokeless. At higher capacities low smoke is desirable. The flare system is to provide safe, reliable stand-by system to meet short periods of venting due to start-up, shutdown and emergencies.
