Where combustion equipment is concerned, unexpected emergency outages require an immediate response. The responding service needs to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It is also a big plus to be able… Continue Reading →
Whether the job is to wire guy cables on a brand new flare stack, or if the job is to recalibrate guy wire tension on an existing flare system, it is good to know the fundamentals of proper cabling and… Continue Reading →
There are many different types of unmanned aerial vehicles, called UAV’s for short. In the petrochemical flare industry, a necessary tool for effective flare tip inspection is the UAV called the turbine powered rotor craft. Rotorcraft Unmanned Aviation The rotor… Continue Reading →
There are several retractable systems available for combustion flares and petrochemical operations with flare systems should take great advantage of them. Here is a list of the top three retractable systems: Retractable Flare Pilot Systems Retractable flare pilot systems and… Continue Reading →
A gas flare systems flare tip has a pretty heavy job description. It must disperse heat effectively. It must generate flow at a velocity greater than the external wind velocities. If a gas flare system is fitted with a flare… Continue Reading →
There are many requirements and specifications that go into flare system design. The types of material used, execution of fabrication, and testing and preparation of a flare system are all highly meticulous features of flare fabrication. Care must be observed… Continue Reading →
The flare stack service industry does more than maintain and repair the permanent flare systems of refineries. There is a whole facet of flare stack service that involves the ability to produce and set up quickly and efficiently portable flare… Continue Reading →
Guy wire rope cabling for refinery flares is, like any guy rope application, subject to friction, bending and tension. While it is not casually observable, guy wire cabling is a moving and working strength member of the flare stack… Continue Reading →
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So goes the maxim and it applies very well to the care and inspection programs of industrial combustion equipment in the petrochemical industry. Flare Preventive Maintenance Program From the flare… Continue Reading →
Refinery and petrochemical plant managers normally keep flare maintenance on a regular schedule to meet the operational life expectancies of flare tips. But even so, come maintenance time, all components of the flare stack are at risk of needing repair… Continue Reading →
