Burn Pit Sizing Calculation Guide

The document outlines the calculations for sizing a burn pit, including the net heat of vaporization and combustion, flow rates, and required dimensions. It provides detailed input data and results for the burn pit area, diameter, and depth based on specific equations and references. The calculations utilize both British and SI units and highlight discrepancies in existing equations, opting for Exxon Mobile Design Practice as a reference.

Note : All input data are according to Project material balance.


Some equations in IPS-E-PR-460 are incorrect . For example equation 7 is not reasonable . Therefore the Exxon Mobile Design Practice dp15e is used as
reference of this calculation (Attachment).
