somayehn,

The John Zink Combustion Handbook deals with flares extensively:

A book is also available wit the title "Pressure Safety Design Practices for Refinery and Chemical Operations" by Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff. Chapter 10, "Flare Gas Design Practices" deals with flares extensively.

Googling should provide a lot of information related to flares although very sctttered.

Section 6.4, "Disposal by Flaring", API STD 521 provides reasonably good guidelines for understanding flare systems.

Most engineering and operating companies such as Shell, Bechtel, Technip, BP, Exxon, Chevron, Petronas, Total etc. have very good design guidelines, engineering practices, tutorials related to "Pressure Relief & Relief Disposal Systems" including flare systems.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ankur.

Dear Somayehn,

API 521 Provide good information for the flare system & other equipmets related to flare system sizing with an example. Also refer API -537 IIND edition " Flare details for general Refinery & petrochemical Service" .

You can refer attached documents also for other reference. ( Refer last pages )
