2013 AFRC Combustion Symposium – September 22-25, 2013 – Kauai, Hawaii
Overview
- Typical Air Flare Designs and Arrangements
- Destruction Efficiency General Discussion
- Zeeco Air Flare Destruction Efficiency Testing and Results
- Air Flare Operating Recommendations
Conclusion
- Properly designed/operated air‐assisted flares can achieve hydrocarbon destruction efficiencies exceeding 99%
- Combustion Zone Net Heating Value (CZNHV) is likely the most accurate parameter for ensuring high flare destruction efficiency of air‐assisted flares
- Zeeco testing affirms that properly designed air‐assisted flares can be used to reduce hydrocarbon and VOC emissions at facilities by achieving high destruction efficiency
- Smoking flares can have equal or higher destruction efficiency than non‐smoking flares, achieving destruction efficiencies of 99% or higher
