Background of the Problem

a. Overview of Refineries
b. Importance of Flare System
c. Types of Flaring
i. Process Flaring
ii. Emergency Flaring
iii. Production Flaring
d. Problem with the existing flare system
i. Noise
ii. Air pollution
iii. Use of Natural Gas and Steam
iv. Loss of Valuable Products
2. Social, economic and environmental issues accompanying the current situation
a. Social issues
i. Health Risk
 Risk Assessment of Flame Out/Normal Flaring Condition
a. For Flame out use H2S gas for calculation
b. For normal flaring use SO2 for calculation
ii. Quality of Life
b. Economic Issues:
i. From the perspective of company loss
 Specify General Monetary Loss of the refinery due to flaring
a. Can Specify excessive use of Natural gas
b. Can specify loss of gas composition related to LPG and LNG
 Land value loss around the refinery due to flaring
c. Environmental Issues:
i. Air Pollution
ii. Noise Pollution
3. An Alternative Solution
a. Flare Gas Recovery System Description
4. Detail Design of Flare Gas Recovery System
a. Existing and Upgraded Process Flow Diagram
b. Design of Major Equipment
i. Compressor
ii. Knock-out drum
iii. Sweetening System (Most Refineries already have this no need to design this
just route the captured gas to this section)
iv. Optimum Pipeline Diameter
v. Inter-Locking to cover emergency scenario
5. Tecno-Economic Analysis of the Design
a. ROI of the project (By calculating cost of the equipment and saving from gas
capturing)
6. Sustainability Assessment
a. Carbon Footprint Analysis before and after.
i. Normal Operation
ii. Emergency Operation
7. Benchmarking of Performance Indicators of Existing and Upgraded System
8. Impact on stakeholder by FGRS
9. Recommendations
10. Conclusion
