Flare Tanks are used to dispose of gas discharged

from the wellhead during well control events. Two modes of operation are utilised:

Flare Tank Specifications:

Operating Pressure Capacity (up to): 5,000 psi Volume (up to & including): 12m3 Gas Flow Rates (up to): 17.5 mmscf/d. (Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day)

Practical Engineering’s Range of Flare Tanks for Gas Drilling

Client Customisation: Flares can be customised to suit specific rig requirements. We have designed flares to be used across the CSG, Shale/ Gas Sands, Deep Gas and HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature) drilling industries.

Gas Disposal The primary mode of operation is disposal of gas separated at the rig degasser. Gas is piped via a large diameter (2”-8”) low pressure flaring line. The gas is vented to the flare stack and ignited by the flare pilots.

Mud-Gas Separation Alternately drilling mud and gas mixtures are discharged directly from the choke manifold via a high pressure (5000psi) panic line. The integral separation diverts the gas to the flare stack for flaring whilst the mud is separated and retained in the mud storage tank for return to the rig mud system.

ICAMS – Ignition Control and Management System Practical Engineering has developed the ICAMS module to give the utmost flare control and safety. The unit maintains pilot operation and alerts the operator if the pilot gas bottle requires changing or a fault has been detected.

Features & Benefits of our Flare Tank Range

Compliance All Applicable Australian Standards (AS) – Inc. Structural & Lifting

American Petroleum Institute (API) Regulations on Flare Systems

Australian Gas Authority (AGA) Class 1 safe start check and a continual

self-check.

Safety Heat flux calculations are undertaken for each flaring system to ensure the

required operator exclusion zone is setup. The flare system ensures that the control panel is outside the zone 2 hazardous area.

User Friendly Operation The flare tank is supplied with: A comprehensive installation,

operation and maintenance manual

Short succinct information required to setup and

Site operation training and com-missioning available as required

Environment Practical’s range of “pit-less” Flaring Tanks offer minimum possible impact on the environment. The flare system removes any need or expenditure on earthworks, excavating, lining or remediating a flare pit.

Fast Rig-Up Rig-up is quick and simple. One operator can deploy the flare tank and erect the flare stack within 20 minutes.
