    The document discusses guidelines for flare systems and piping. It states that relief valves should discharge into flare headers at a 45 degree angle to minimize kinetic energy and avoid liquid accumulation. Pockets in flare headers and blowdown systems are prohibited. Flare knockout drums should be located at the battery limit of each process unit. Flare headers must slope toward knockout drums with slope maintained throughout, and expansion loops added as needed based on thermal analysis and expansion requirements to minimize loops.

    Flare System

    Liquid-vapour phase relief valves shall discharge into the flare header at an angle 45 degrees in the
    direction of header flow, to minimise the effect of kinetic energy and to avoid accumulation of liquid.
    Pockets in the flare header and blowdown system shall be prohibited. Flare knock out drum for the
    process units should be located at battery limit of the unit.

    Flare Piping

    Slope

    Flare header shall be sloped towards flare knock-out drum. The desired slope shall be ensured
    throughout including flat loop.

    Loops

    Expansion loop shall be provided in horizontal plane as per requirement to accommodate thermal
    expansion. Proper thermal analysis temperature shall be established including the possibility of
    temperature gradient along the line before providing expansion loops. Efforts shall be made to
    minimize the number of loops.

    Basic Principle of Orifice Meter


    For most piping systems it is 20 pipe diameters upstream and 5 Downstream for an orifice plate.

    Sensitivity : This Document is Classified as "LNT Internal Use".
