On Friday, a flare for associated petroleum gas was used at the oil refinery in Kapotnya after a drone attack. A correspondent from www1.ru decided to investigate why it was necessary to burn such a large amount of fuel, seemingly in vain.
A gas flare is an engineering structure that carries out emergency or controlled combustion of associated gas during the processing or extraction of oil at chemical or oil refineries.
Controlled gas combustion helps to increase the safety of pipelines and oil storage facilities in the event of a sudden and unplanned pressure surge.
To reduce the formation of black smoke in the gas flare, water vapor is gradually mixed into the flame. This measure reduces air pollution but also increases the noise from the gas flare operation.
There are several types of flare systems. In particular, general plant flares burn gas emissions from production facilities. There are also more localized installations; these flares are part of individual units and production facilities. Regardless of location and size, flares serve one purpose: to ensure production safety.
