| The development of domestic petro-chemical industry presents distinguishing features of high-speed, expand in scale, joint construction and production, centralized utilities supply. In order to make sure that the facility system runs safely and the environment is protected, a flare system is usually set to burn out all the wasted gas produced in different working conditions. Shanghai Gaoqiao Petro-chemical Company is an extra large type enterprise, which is located in the Northeast of Pudong District, Shanghai. The old flare system can’t meet requirements of the manufacturing and the government’s land planning. A new flare system is to be designed and set to meet the needs.The following are main points in this work:(1) With a comparison between the elevated flare and the ground flare, a ground flare system is adopted according to the practical situation of Shanghai Gaoqiao Petro-chemical Company.(2) A safety assessment is given to the ground flare system by analyzing the potential dangers and hazardous factors during the present operating process. Various safety codes and standards are introduced in the assessment, such as "Fire prevention code of petrol chemical enterprise design" (GB50160-2008) and "Design specifications for combustible gas discharge system in petrochemical engineering" (SH3009-2013), for inspection and evaluation on the entire allocation, conventional protective measures, flammable and explosive area, safety control of hazardous factors, safety chain for process facilities and safety production management. An overall safety evaluation summary is concluded that the unit’s construction conforms to the relevant laws, regulations and standards.(3) The safety analysis also points out the existing problems and related improvements for the ground flare unit, which is of significance to further promoting the safety management and safety production. |
