Industry Challenges
Petrochemical, ammonia and fertiliser plants handle large relief loads, process vents that change with operation, and gases such as hydrogen and ammonia that burn differently from hydrocarbons. The four points below are the main problems these plants face.
A trip or a power failure can send a large share of a unit's inventory to the flare at once.
Hydrogen-rich and ammonia-bearing streams need flare tips and pilots matched to the way they burn.
Reactor and recovery section vents carry organics that must be destroyed for as long as the plant runs.
Burning ammonia and other nitrogen-bearing vents can form NOx, and permits increasingly limit it.
The CRA Edge
Elevated and enclosed flares are sized for the plant's relief cases.
Thermal oxidisers are designed for destruction efficiency above 99%.
Low NOx thermal oxidisers are available for nitrogen-bearing vents.
Every oxidiser package includes a flare route for the gas when the oxidiser trips.
