In a low pr. flare system can a the flare ko operating pr. be kept at atmospheric?

 

Since pr. at flare tip is atmospheric then how flare ko can be atmospheric? would it not be always higher than atmospheric due to backpressure?

Hi ,

KO drum Pressure is always higher that top of the flare .

Do the calculation backwards from the top of the flare to the KO drum !  

You need driving force to bring material to the flare .

Good luck
