RE: flare system
HP disposal system is a system where the back pressure can be higher than what is admissible in the LP relief system. The HP disposal system collects the high flowrate sources which cannot be routed to the LP disposal system because they would create excessive back pressure. This generally includes:
• Excess gas which must be released for pressure control of high pressure processing units;
• The release of PSVs and BDVs from high pressure equipment.
HP flare typically collects disposed gas from equipment with design pressure above 10 barg (example standard).
There is a lot of info on flares on the web. See:
