Dear all,
A potential customer for a flare tip (and maybe also the riser) wants to flare a 264.000,00 kg/h stream containing 80% C7H16 equivalent + 20% H2 (mol) @ 268 °C. Generally speaking, what should be a good temperature may I ask them to cool the stream? To 120, 150 °C? It is an estimative proposal I have to submit within this week.
Cooling the stream would result in a cheaper flare tip as volumetric flow would descrease as well it would avoid using more expensive material or protection around piping. I don't think it would be a good idea to work with such high temperature.
I know this question and (its answer) shoud be more specific, but, if you could at least send some thoughts as guidelines I would really appreciate.
Thank you very much in advance.
