Course content

3 sections • 19 lectures • 2h 19m total length

  • Introduction to Workshop #12:28

    Build a flowsheet with a control valve and a relief valve. Connect via tail pipe, tee, and header to flare stack; define two scenarios with delta v and diameter data.

  • Interface, Preferences and unit of measurement7:30

    Open Aspen Flare System Analyzer v14, create a project with user and job code, add hydrocarbon components methane, ethane, propane, and set metric units in preferences for the flare system.

  • Stack and Flare Tip12:35

    Model a flare system with a stack and flare tip, define upstream and downstream, and note unreacted components burn at the flare tip to CO2 and H2O.

  • Connector and Header6:33

    Explore connectors and headers in flare network design, linking pipelines with 90 and 180 degree connectors, and identify upstream and downstream for a header to stack flare systems.

  • Tee4:23

    See how a T fitting splits flow into outlets, introduces 90-degree bends and pressure drops, and apply the Miller fitting loss method in an Aspen flare system analyzer workflow.

  • Tail Pipe6:25

    Define tail pipe as the pipe after the relief valve, distinct from pipes after other valves, with delta P based on design or rated flow, not the actual flow.

  • Control Valve & Relief Valve8:09

    Add the first control valve named source one at tailpipe one with a 10,000 kg per hour flow constraint, and add a relief valve as source two.

  • Scenario in Aspen Flare5:34

    Create a default scenario for each vault in Aspen Flare, set mach number to indicate compressibility, and enforce 100 decibel noise limit while cloning for source one and source two.

  • Rating the Network8:52

    Define and compare network scenarios by selecting valve sources. Set calculation and heat transfer options, then review pressure, flow, and physical properties to rate the network.

  • Check Model2:47

    Check the model before running to catch errors and heat transfer warnings, then uncheck enable heat transfer in calculation settings and set pipe length, elevation, and nominal diameter.

Description

This comprehensive course offers an in-depth exploration of flare network design utilizing the Aspen Flare System Analyzer software. Tailored for engineers and technicians in the oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical industries, the course aims to equip participants with the skills necessary to effectively design, simulate, and analyze flare systems.

The course begins with an introduction to the Aspen Flare System Analyzer interface, guiding participants through the essential features and tools available within the software. Learners will gain hands-on experience in simulating key components of flare systems, including stack and flare tip configurations, connectors, headers, tees, and tail pipes. The importance of control and relief valves in maintaining system integrity will also be emphasized.

Participants will learn how to create various operational scenarios within the Aspen Flare System Analyzer, enabling them to assess system performance under diverse conditions. The course will cover methodologies for validating models and evaluating network efficiency, ensuring that participants can confidently optimize flare system designs.

The second workshop delves into more advanced topics, including pipeline network connections and the integration of flare system inputs. Participants will explore the use of length multipliers and engage in emergency scenario simulations, such as fire incidents and blocked outlets. These practical exercises will enhance participants’ ability to respond to real-world challenges in flare network management.

By the end of this course, participants will possess a robust understanding of flare network design principles and the practical skills necessary to utilize Aspen Flare System Analyzer effectively. This course not only enhances technical knowledge but also fosters a proactive approach to safety and operational efficiency in flare system design.
