Abstract
During process operations, overpressure can be caused by operator's error or malfunction of the device. To prevent this overpressure, gas was released through blowdown system. Because most of released gases are the hydrocarbon mixture and have flammable and toxic properties, the gas is released after burning in flare stack. The increase of scale and complexity of plant requires higher or additional flare stacks. This study tried to solve this problem through flare gas recovery system.
