Flare noise prediction
Flare noise prediction
(OP)
Hi,
is there any simple way to calculate or estimate the noise of a flare stack? Couldn't find anything in API
Any help would be highly appreciated
thx

Unfortunately this paper is about flares with steam injection only and does not offer a method for estimating noise levels of flares without.
RE: Flare noise prediction
The best method for arriving at noise levels of flares IMO is the German standard VDI 3732, which is based on measured noise levels from many elevated and ground flares, mainly in Germany. The standard is bilingual (German and English). It can be downloaded with a credit card for 56.40 Euros from : www.beuth.de
Otherwise noise levels can be estimated with commercial software like Flaresim. Probably the easiest way is to ask a flare vendor for a quotation.
Best regards,

Thanks for your answers.
@peteship:
I was told that VDI 3732 refers to steam assisted flares only - is that true? Otherwise I would give it a try and buy it.
@maddocks:
What are your experiences with the noise prediction of FlareSim? Are the calculations matching reality? I will get a trial copy of FlareSim.
I would appreciate if you would find the noise equation
Best regards,
Joo

Even a simple google search on flare noise is getting a ton of hits - do a little more digging. I'll see if I can find the missing paper this week sometime.
