FlareCheck Flare & Vent Emission Estimation System

To meet the 1997 Kyoto protocol, countries must reduce flaring at oil and gas facilities to typically 90% of 1990 levels by 2010. To achieve this, hydrocarbon facilities must accurately estimate flared gas and vented gas volumes. Kenonic's FlareCheck is a software tool that helps industry comply with these regulations. FlareCheck estimates both fuel usage of fuel-driven equipment, and flaring and venting, for each applicable point in a facility.

FlareCheck:

• Supports defendable estimates of flared and vented gas quantities
• Provides reasonable estimates for unmetered fuel gas
• Provides results that are consistent throughout your organization
• Frees users from computing complex gas calculations
• Creates a permanent, saved record of your estimates
• Handles wet or dry gas
• Uses AGA 8 for calculating for density, heating value, etc.
• Exploits flow calculating engine from Kenonic's industry-recognized FlowCheck software.

Calculations performed by FlareCheck include:

• Pressure and temperature corrected gas volumes for:
  • Piping elements (pipe, bends, reducers)
  • Scrubbers and separators
  • Partially-filled liquid storage vessels
• Flow-through valve volumes for:
  • Pilot and cover gas applications
  • Pressure safety valves
• Fuel estimates for:
  • Natural gas powered engines
  • Line heaters
  • Oil treatments
• Combustion estimates for:
  • Products of combustion
  • Air/fuel ratio
