What are the Goals?

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

  • Understand the importance of pressure relief systems and their key principles
  • Select and size appropriate relief devices (e.g. Pressure safety valves)
  • Calculate flare header thermal radiation zones & purge rates
  • Understand the flare system equipment operations & maintenance
  • Understand the zero flare principles

Who is this Training Course for?

This program addresses the needs of a diverse audience with an interest in pressure relieving & flare systems. This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Process Engineers involved in relief & flare selection and sizing
  • Operation Engineers who have oversight responsibility for flare design & operation
  • Technical personnel & supervisors involved in supporting relief flare operation
