The possibility of ice formation in the flare system when high pressure wet gas stream from a separator is relieved to flare looks very high.

If two-phase relief flow including the free water is considered, the situation looks even worse.

Does anyone know thow these scenarios are mitigated against? I can't imagine that winterizing alone, or relying on high relief velocities and piping arrangements will altogether solve the problem altogether.
