MY CLIENT HAS EXPRESSED A CONCERN FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A FLUID TRANSIENT LOAD IN A FLARE HEADER FROM THE KNOCKOUT DRUM TO THE FLARE STACK. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOWN OF ANY REAL WORLD INCIDENT WHERE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM?

Alligator,

One incident I have heard of was the failure of the flare header at the Milford Haven Refinery in Wales (operated by Texaco). A brief description of the incident (along with other links) can be found on


This incident proves that although it shouldn't have happened, it did.

The UK Health & Safety Executive have also published a full report which is detailed at the bottom of the above page.
