Flare
Inefficiency as a Function of Wind Velocity
INEFFICIENCIES FOR NATURAL GAS FLARE WITH VARIOUS EXIT VELOCITIES
- Flare efficiency is strongly sensitive to cross-wind.
- Higher exit velocity flares are less prone to becoming inefficient.
INEFFICIENCIES FOR PROPANE FLARE WITH VARIOUS EXIT VELOCITIES
- Propane is less susceptible to cross-winds than natural gas.
- Shape of curves is same for both gases.
INEFFICIENCIES OF PROPANE FLARES WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF CO2 DILUTION
- Energy content of fuel gas also has a strong effect on flare efficiency
