All,
I am doing some work at a bulk LPG storage facility. They will have a horizontal flare and will need a continuous gas purge on it. I have found many resources for calculating the purge requirements for a typical vertical flare (API 521, Husa, etc). Can these methods be applied to a horizontal flare? Do they need any modification or are there any caveats? If these methods are not applicable, do you know of any resource I can use to calculate purge requirements for a horizontal flare?
I very much appreciate any help you can provide.
[Edit]: Also, since there is ample supply of propane at this facility, I would like to at least consider using it as the purge gas. Do not know if that will influence your answer or not but thought it was worth mentioning.
