Issue 3: Flare systems
The flare collects a range of gaseous emission and pipes them to a flare stack where the harmful gases are burnt and then the exhaust is safely discharged to the atmosphere. The flare is a last line of defense in the safe emergency release system in a refinery or chemical plant. It is used to dispose of purged and wasted products from refineries, unrecoverable gases emerging with oil from oil wells, vented gases from blast furnaces, unused gases from coke ovens, and gaseous water from chemical industries.
