Flare System on a CNG plant

Flare System on a CNG plant

Flare System on a CNG plant

(OP)
We are an EPC Contractor and it's our first time to design a CNG plant. We are currently having an intense discussion with my fellows about the requirement of Flare system for a CNG plant.

As many of the CNG facilities (mother and daugther station) existed, do not use flare system. And our vendors recommended that venting is enough. But we are still not sure/convince about it.

We hope if somebody could explain their experience about this. Or inform us if there are a good code/standard/recommended practice about CNG facilities design.

We are currently designing a CNG station with capacity about more than 20 MMscf.

RE: Flare System on a CNG plant

CNG station doesn't really tell me what you are doing. Can you describe your process, is it just a compression and storage facility?

RE: Flare System on a CNG plant

(OP)
Yes, its compression, storage, and decompression facilities....

RE: Flare System on a CNG plant

And if something goes awry, are you permitted to free release the gas?

RE: Flare System on a CNG plant

This would depend on the country. In Germany, eg, Berg Amt prefers cold venting e.g. for NG underground storage facilities.

Is this the unit where you compres the gas or may it also be e.g. filling stations?
