Equipment installed in HP Flare Header
Equipment installed in HP Flare Header
(OP)
Dear all,
I am working on a gas plant and for the first time I have seen an air cooler installed in the HP Flare Header, upstream of the KO Drum. This is in the P&IDs, not in the actual plant. Is this normal, and what it is more important, it is allowable?
The relieving fluids will be very cold but I have never seen this requirement for the relieving fluids to be heated up by the ambient...
Anyone has any experience on this?
Thanks
S

Are you sure its actually a unit operation or has somebody just tried to increase the heat tranfer by improving the outside heat transfer? Maybe the equipment is not needed in the safety critical case but only for operational? I think we need some more details.
Best regards
