I'm checking flare capacity for an offshore platform. Without going into any specific design dertial for my case (& given that offshore designs are often very similar in design):
Can anyone advise what i should consider as a flare scenario for inst air failure?
I don't think considering all 'air fail open' valves venting simulataneously is realistic as air systems generally decay in pressure over a perioid of time after failure, meaning valves will drift open rather than suddenly open simultaneously. However, i'm struggling to identify a realistic sizing case.
Thanks in advance for any input.
