Flare Gas Recovery

John Zink has flare gas recovery systems that offer effective emissions control and have been engineered for a wide variety of applications, from petroleum refineries to FPSO offshore platforms.

John Zink's Flare Gas Recovery (FGR) systems offer a range of benefits and are custom-engineered to meet your specific needs. Discover how our FGR solutions can enhance your operations by reducing emissions, saving costs, and improving overall efficiency.

Features

John Zink's FGR systems are meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. Our expertise in flare systems ensures a smooth implementation, maximizing both safety and efficiency.

Liquid Seals & Back Pressure Control

The design of the liquid seal vessel is crucial for the successful operation of an FGR system. Our liquid seals are engineered to prevent air backflow and ensure stable operation of the compressor and flare system. We use deep liquid seals that provide the necessary hydrostatic head, ensuring reliable performance even under fluctuating conditions.

Compression Evaluation & Technology

Choosing the right compression technology is vital for the effectiveness of an FGR system. We evaluate various technologies to find the best fit for your application's specific needs.

Ejectors

Ejectors are one of the compression technologies we often consider. They are particularly useful in applications requiring a simple, maintenance-free solution. Ejectors can handle a wide range of flow rates and are effective in reducing the overall system footprint.

Flare Gas Sweetening

Flare gas often contains impurities like H2S that need to be removed before the gas can be reused. We offer comprehensive solutions for flare gas sweetening, either by integrating sweetening equipment within our FGR systems or by designing our systems to accommodate third-party sweetening processes. Whether we handle the sweetening directly or coordinate with another provider, our equipment is designed with this crucial step in mind.

Benefits

Benefits of FGR

Emission Reduction

Our FGR systems are designed to significantly reduce emissions, including NOx, CO, CO2, and SOx. By capturing and reusing flare gas, our systems help you meet stringent environmental regulations and contribute to a cleaner environment.

Cost-Savings

Implementing an FGR system can lead to substantial cost savings by reducing the need for purchased fuel gas and steam. Additionally, in some markets, reduced emissions can lower carbon taxes and fines, providing immediate economic benefits. Typical cost savings include a reduction in plant fuel and steam consumption, leading to a rapid return on investment.

Reduce Flaring Light, Noise, Odor

Flare operations can generate noticeable light, noise, and odor, which can be a nuisance to surrounding communities. Our FGR systems minimize these issues by recovering gas that would otherwise be flared, enhancing your facility's public image.

Extend Flare Tip Life

By reducing the amount of gas that reaches the flare tip, our FGR systems help extend the flare tip's operational life. This leads to lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime, thereby improving overall plant efficiency.
