Course description
This course will develop your understanding of flare systems and how to control the hazards associated with them to ensure effective process safety and environmental compliance over the life cycle of a flare system.
Upcoming start dates
1 start date available
Outcome / Qualification etc.
- the components of a flare system, how they work, why the components which make up a flare disposal system are there, and how they can fail or be rendered ineffective
- the key principles for ensuring flare system safety
- the key types of incidents and accidents and how to use this knowledge in the design, operation, modification and maintenance of flare systems
- the regulatory requirements from safety and environmental regulations such as COMAH and PPC & EPR regulations
- the general principles of flare system design.
Training Course Content
- Review of a flare system incident
- Review of flare system components
- Key flare system siting considerations – eg ground level heat flux criteria
- key flare system sizing considerations
- Hazard 1 – keeping air out of the flare system
- Hazard 2 – keeping flare system lit
- Hazard 3 – preventing liquid overfill
- Hazard 4 – preventing freezing/blockage
- Hazard 5 – exclusion of personnel from flare systems
- Hazard 6 – flaring toxic materials
- Hazard 7 – preventing over-chilling
- Hazard 8 – working on flare systems (live break ins where no isolation valves exist, effectiveness of isolation valves etc)
- Hazard 9 – performing operational checks, or maintenance within flare 'sterilisation' zones
- Environmental aspects of elevated flare stack systems (noise, light, loss of pilots etc)
- Other hazards (e.g. steam hammer – as steam to elevated flare headers is usually at end of a header)
