FLARE GAS RECOVERY APPLICATIONS
Responsible companies today are working to minimise waste gas flaring and minimise unnecessary CO2 emissions by recovering and reusing Flare Gas. Flare gas recovery is a particularly difficult compressor application due to the highly variable gas composition, corrosive gas containing H2S and CO2, particulate carry over and potential for liquid carry over. The Liquid Ring Compressor is ideal for use in this application as the compressor can deal with gases ranging from 100% hydrogen to heavy hydrocarbon gases as it is a positive displacement machine. The liquid piston effect of the liquid ring also absorbs the heat of compression, so discharge temperatures are normally only 15 – 20°C higher than the service water temperature. Most flare gas compressor systems use a service water recirculation system, where the water is cooled in an auxiliary heat exchanger to minimise water consumption. The recovered Flare Gas is generally used to supplement fuel gas in refinery boilers, so the payback time for the investment can be less than 2 years.
