Flare loss in petro-chemical

[biplob_chowdhury15]

Hi All,

How to map "Flare loss" in petro-chemical?

Flare Loss:

Flare stacks are primarily used for burning off flammable gas released by pressure relieve valve during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment.During plant or partial plant startups and shutdowns.

A great deal of gas flaring at many oil and gas production sites has nothing to do with protection against the dangers of over-pressuring industrial plant equipment. When petrolium crude oil is extracted and produced from onshore or offshore oil wells, raw natural gas associated with the oil is produced to the surface as well. In areas of the world lacking pipelines and other gas transportation infrastructure, vast amounts of such associated gas are commonly flared as waste or unusable gas

Thanks.

Hi Biplob,

Can you please elaborate a bit more how the flammable gas is mapped in the system. if my understanding is correct, this natural gas is also produced and brought to surface along with extracted the crude oil. So if Flame Gas is also produced then you can create a production order for such a material and either show a consumption movement from offshore location or use a scrap movement to show the loss.

Hi Rahul,

Thanks for your reply,

Flare is scrap which is not recoverable. It is burnt out for safety purpose. If I receive it as scrap, it will be in stock which is not in real.

Thanks.

Hi Biplop,

I understand you concern. but physically also the flare is been transported to offshore before it is burnt. so the system can also receive the material in the location and then scrap it.

If you will not show the flare quantity then how can the system identify what is the loss. anyhow the stock will not reflect as you will either consume/scrap the entire received flare quantity.
