American Flame Research Committee - AFRC 2016 – September 11-14, 2016 – Kauai, Hawaii

Overview:

  • Developed in the 1970’s, Multi-Point Ground Flares derive their name from their physical layout.
  • Instead of the flare flame being on an elevated structure, the flame is spread out in a grade mounted field of multiple pressure assisted flare tips.
  • The tips are then arranged in stages that open as the upstream pressure and gas flow increases and close as pressure and flow decreases

 

Criteria

  • Test setup
  • Background noise
  • Sound power levels as a function of sonic and subsonic flows
  • 10Log vs. 20Log analysis
  • Acoustical efficiency
  • New gas fuel skids
  • Combustion vs. venting
