Softwares for Flare and vent system design
(OP)
Could anyone please suggest a good and user friendly software for designing flare and vent systems and also for blowdown analysis?
I am aware of FLARENET (Aspen Flare System Analyzer), but looking for other options.
Thanks in advance.

One such package is Flowmaster, another is Pipenet and so forth.
The vary in price and ease of use - but i think they will be cheaper than a complete HYSYS/Flarenet instalation.
However, you may want to look for a consultant if its a one-off job.

I currently use PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler module for firewater network hydraulics and is very user friendly.
However, as you mentioned when I checked on their website it is not mentioned that their transient module can be used for flare sizing. Have you used PIPENET for flare sizing. If so, would I require to buy transient module or standard module for this?
Thank you.

- A new plant/flare: SS Defenately - save the transient for a rainy day
-Transient for debottlenecking an existing flare where extra capacity is needed.

Thanks for the reply.
I have looked into various soft wares Visualflow, flowmaster etc., and Pipenet SS Module is the cheapest among all.
I guess I am going to go with PIPENET.
Thanks again.
