Simulation of Onshore and Offshore Facility Flare Gas Reutilization in an Energy Recovery Scheme
Since the birth of the oil industry, flaring has been used upstream to depressurize eruptive wells and downstream to burn excess gases in refining and petrochemical plants and also in associated and natural gas treatment plants. Enormous quantities of co-produced gas are flared as a waste by-product...
