    Calculate heating value at flare

    Hello Experts, how to calculate heating value at flare during equipment steam out operation. We have been observing flame-outs at flare during steam-out step in plant shutdown. Lowering the heating value below desired value (300 btu/scf or 12 MJ/m3) is probably cause for the same. How to...
