Abstract

PURPOSE:To control the amount of gas to a flare device into a minimum value, by a method wherein, through feed of waste gas from the upstream side of a surge drum to a gas compressor, the suction pressure of the gas compressor is maintained at a specified value in which the pressure is increased to and short of breaking of water sealing of the surge drum. CONSTITUTION:Before a waste gas line 11 extends into a surge drum 2, a branch line 12 is branched therefrom to connect it to the suction side of a gas compressor 4, the discharge side is connected to a heating furnace 3 through a line 13. In operation, through automatic control of a flow rate regulating valve 10 so that the pressure of a pressure gauge 5 is maintained at a specified value in that the pressure which is increased to and short of breaking of water sealing of a surge drum 2 is an upper limit and the pressure which is decreased to and short of suction of sealing water of the surge drum 2 is a lower limit, all or most part of flare waste gas is recovered to burn it in the heating furnace 3. This permits all or most part of flare gas to be safely recovered and enables effective utilization thereof.

In the era when energy prices were low, large amounts of waste gas were incinerated in flare equipment, and there were problems such as flare stacks in particular, where the waste gas burned brightly at night, damaging the scenery of the surrounding area. Ta. After that, with the first oil shock in 1971, energy prices soared, and the amount of waste incinerated in flare equipment increased. It is gradually decreasing due to improvements in resource saving, energy saving technology and operation management technology in equipment and chemical plants.

However, although conventional technology has been used to suppress the amount of waste gas that enters the flare system in the various devices and plants that generate the waste gas, this still cannot be overlooked from the perspective of resource and energy conservation. Currently, a large amount of flammable gas is released and is being incinerated. The reasons for this are, first of all, the quantitative fluctuation of the exhaust gas is large, the calorific value is not necessarily stable due to changes in the composition of the exhaust gas, and there is a risk of backfire accidents due to operational errors in the flare system. It's for a reason.

According to the present invention, when recovering flare waste gas by providing a branch line in the waste gas line upstream of the surge drum of the flare system and guiding the waste gas from the line to the suction side of the gas compressor, 1) The recovery flow rate of flare waste gas is automatically controlled so that the suction pressure is constant, and
) By keeping the suction pressure of the gas compressor constant at a level that will break the surge drum's water seal but not break it, the flare gas system can be operated by minimizing the amount of gas flowing into the flare device, thereby reducing the amount of gas recovered. This ends with the safe and effective use of the combustible gas produced as fuel for heating furnaces, etc.
