FLARESIMTM has been developed to assist professional

engineers in the design and evaluation of flare systems.

The program calculates thermal radiation and noise
generated by flares and estimates the temperatures of
exposed surfaces.
FLARESIMTM handles multiple tip configurations on
vertical, horizontal or inclined stacks. As well as API
standard methods, FLARESIM includes vendor proprietary
algorithms .
FLARESIMTM builds on the success of the earlier DOS
version which has become the standard for flare analysis
in the process industry. FLARESIM is used by flare
system vendors, Engineering & Construction companies
and operating companies worldwide.

Features

Equally applicable to the design of flare

systems for offshore platforms, gas plants,
refineries and chemical plants.

Multiple environmental scenarios allowing

rapid evaluation of flare systems under
different wind speeds and directions.

Data may be entered and reported in the

users choice of units and may be converted at
any time.

Unlimited combinations of stacks, booms and

flare tips.

Calculation of radiation, noise spectrum and

surface temperatures at multiple receptor
points.

Ability to define unlimited number of receptor

grids in multiple planes for calculation of
radiation, noise or surface temperatures.

Customisable plots for grid radiation, noise

and surface temperature results as isopleth
contours.

Import of plot plans for superposition of

isopleth results.

Receptor point characteristics for calculating

surface temperatures.

Sizing of stack or boom length to meet

radiation, noise or surface temperature limits
at defined receptor points.

Import of files from DOS version of Flaresim.

Flexible text or graphic reports including

Quality Assurance options.

Correlations for modelling a range of flare

tips including sonic tips, pipeflare tips and
steam or air assisted tips. For assisted flares the
quantity of steam or air required for smokeless
operation can be calculated.

Multiple correlations to predict the emissivity

of a wide range of hydrocarbon fluids with
different flare tips.

Liquid flaring systems can be handled.

Wide range of algorithms for calculation of

thermal radiation. Includes multi-element
point, diffuse and mixed methods as well as
Brzustowski/Sommer methods described in
the API guidelines for flare system design.

Full 3D flame shape analysis with complete

flexibility in specification of the location and
orientation of multiple stacks.

Range of options for analysing the noise

spectrum generated by flare systems
including user defined noise spectra.
