Flare Gas Recovery Needed:

Flare gas recovery is a mixture of petroleum gases and can be used as a source of energy. An industrial survey found that the amount of gas burned in flair stacks worldwide in 2011 was approximately USD 29.8 billion.

The use of flare gases helps the plant reduce its energy costs and also creates a home fuel source.

Improper burning and incomplete burning produces toxic and harmful air pollutants. The gases produced have harmful and detrimental effects on human life and the surrounding environment. Flare of flare gas is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions.

So using flair gases can help the industry reduce energy costs, reduce its carbon footprint, and be more environmentally responsible.

Challenges in the recovery and use of flare gases:

Variable composition of components in flare gases during plant life. This provides a challenge for the design of the equipment involved and for estimating the energy input from these gases.

Flare gas mixture is prepared at low pressure. They need to be compressed at high pressure for use.
