Sažetak

The purpose of this study was to prepare material for technical specification of study to answer the following questions: Will the existing flare network be able to cope with the additional load from new unit? If modification is required, where and what to do?
Review of existing data was done, in view of calculation per relevant API standards. Data showed great dispersion of values and justify the need to get a complete reevaluation of pressure safety valve loads based on existing effective situation in the refinery. The highest possible load estimate from all existing and future units shows the big flare is able to cope with added new expected flare load in case of electrical failure. The piping network study should be done to evaluate possible modification of intermediate collectors to keep pressure safety valve backpressure and gas velocity in collectors in usual ranges. Static and, if needed, dynamic simulations must be used to assess the flare network. Based on available data, the technical specification material was prepared. Further work requires simulation and adequate software, which is not available in the refinery and must be outsourced.
