Advanced Flare and Relief Systems

Course Introduction

This course provides a comprehensive overview of PSV and flare systems for oil & gas processing facilities. It begins with defining the need for pressure control (over pressure protection), continues with the key engineering and design aspects including code considerations and concludes with selecting and defining the components of both of PSV and a flare system. The material presented is applicable to onshore field production facilities, pipelines, gas plants, terminals and offshore production facilities.

In industrial & oil-gas plants the flare stacks are primarily used for burning off flammable gas released by pressure relief valves or others during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. This course covers essential skills necessary for the safe and efficient design, operation and maintenance of these relief and flare systems by providing delegates with the knowledge, understanding and expertise to ensure a reliable operating processing facility
