INTRODUCTION HP vs. LP flare considerations -HP flares ‘amon wre FSVS sl posses ae ger fan Balanced and/or pilot operated safety, relief valves should be utilized More expensive than conventional but initial cost is offset by the savings in the flare system (i.e., short stack, small piping, etc.) LP flares Consider separate HP and LP flare systems when large volumes of HP gas are being handled HP relief can stand much higher back pressure Vapor recovery systems (Figure 3) Low pressure storage tanks Since storage tanks are normally designed to withstand a small (inches wg) pressure or vacuum, the vapor collection system must ensure these pressure constraints are met International Training & Development © rT Relief, Flare & Vent Disposal Systems
