Flare and Relief Systems: Design, Simulation, and Operation

Flare and relief systems are crucial safety features in oil, gas, and petrochemical plants. Their main function is to manage overpressure situations by safely directing excess gases away from vital process units and releasing them in a controlled, environmentally compliant way. However, flare systems that are poorly designed or improperly operated can result in significant safety hazards, equipment damage, and regulatory breaches. The Flare and Relief Systems: Design, Simulation, and Operation training course offers engineers and technical professionals a comprehensive understanding of the principles, design factors, simulation methods, and operational approaches related to flare and pressure relief systems. Participants will gain the skills needed to assess system performance, apply mitigation strategies, and ensure compliance with API, OSHA, and environmental regulations.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role and importance of flare and relief systems in process safety
• Design and size relief devices and flare headers based on dynamic conditions
• Perform simulations to assess system behavior under various scenarios
• Identify risks and implement mitigation strategies for safe operation
• Ensure compliance with international standards and emission limits

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Process and Safety Engineers
• Instrumentation and Control Engineers
• Design and Facilities Engineers
• Maintenance and Reliability Engineers
• HSE Professionals and Compliance Officers
• Operations and Technical Staff involved in plant safety systems
