Quatrième de couverture
With the consequences of the world′s gas flaring practicesonly just beginning to be understood or even studied, this volumeis the first in decades to tackle a very difficult hot–button issuefor our time that could significantly reduce CO2 emissions andtheir affect on global warming.
When properly used and maintained, flare gas systems can be asafe and reliable technology for system protection and incontrolling emissions stemming from emergency releases. However,when misused and/or not carefully maintained, flaring operationscan be a significant source of toxic emissions that adverselyimpact on air quality. Further to this, there are oftenmisconceptions and misrepresentations on flaring efficiencies. Thishas led to under reporting of releases of toxins withincommunities.
Flares are widely used throughout the oil refining andpetrochemical industries to manage waste gases and as a means ofsafety control of over pressurization of process units. Bothindustry and environmental statutes concerning the regulation offlares characterize flaring as a safe practice that is capable ofcontrolling air emissions to a high level of efficiency. Butflaring operations are conducted far more frequently than systemswere originally intended to operate, and aging refineries andpetrochemical plants have given low priority to the criticalmaintenance and replacement of flare system components. Theconsequences have been far greater emissions than are generallyreported along with serious accidents that have caused loss oflives and extensive damages to facility infrastructure andcommunity property.
This volume is intended as a technical reference for refineriesand chemical plants. The information contained herein is the resultof reviewing the general literature of flaring options andtechnologies, reviewing industry and U.S. EPA–published studies,and examining some of the practices of certain refinery operationswhere information has been accessible.
Industrial Gas Flaring Practices:
Tackles a very difficult, misunderstood, and often overlookedtopic: gas flaring.
Shows how dealing with this subject is a very significant steptoward reducing worldwide CO2 emissions, and thus hopefully helpingto reverse or slow down climate change.
Is the only comprehensive volume of its kind dealing with gasflaring from a technical and environmental point of view.
Presents timely case studies that show, in real–world practice,how to and how NOT to use gas flaring.
