We went for a wholesale reduction in steam flow by changing the characterisation block that calculates the flow. This has worked wonders so far. We have shut down and re-started the plant since (and have had high flaring events which previously would have atttracted complaints). No complaints -...
Anyone have any experience of using acoustic leak detection for picking up releases of high pressure gases from process plant? This would be either as a replacement for conventional gas detection or as a supplement...help!

Reduction of steam gives some success – limited however. The flare is still quite noisy at high (but relatively low compared to historical) rates. David you mentioned that the noisiest flares are the ones that use an external ring of steam jets and that the position of the nozzles makes a...
Anyone have any experience with low rumbling flare noise that seems louder at a perimeter (about a mile) outside the source. We have this problem (and the associated complaints!) during periods of high flaring. It appears there are lots of solutions for steam-related flare noises, but very few...
