TYPICAL TECHNOLOGY |
| POC | 1. Ground level flare,
enclosed, steam- or air-assisted, w/ staged combustion; POC destruction efficiency >98.5%
(>0.6 sec. retention time at >1400oF); use of natural gas or LPG as pilot fuel. Flare to be operated only
during periods of emergency plant upset or breakdown; routine venting of process gases to
be routed to fuel gas recovery systemb,T 2. Elevated flare, steam- or air- assisted, w/staged combustion; POC destruction efficiency >98%: use of natural gas or LPG as pilot fuel. Flare to be oprated only during periods of emergency plant upset or breakdown; routine venting of process gases to be routed to fuel gas recovery systema,b,T |
