Abstract

Flare gas recovery system (FGRS) is a new normal in oil and gas industries and it is designed mainly to capture and reuse gases that are routinely manifolded into flare system for combustion. The recovered gases do not only reduce monumental pollution to the environment but also widen the profit margin of the processes that produce them thus incentivising it for industry-wide adoption especially for refineries and petrochemicals which hardly break-even due to high production cost and competitively emerging energy alternatives. This research work attempted to produce 430,600 kg/hr FGRS for a refinery in south-south Nigeria by simulating the plant which recovers certain flare gases from the flare system header and reroutes them as recycles for use in the refinery, Petrochemical plants and other industries.
