STUDY ON FLARING SYSTEM FOR SOUR GASES IN OIL FIELDS IN INDONESIA

Many of the oil fields in East Java, Indonesia, are known to contain sulfur amountssufficiently high that crude or associated gases considered sour. The sourgases have be handled accordingly order prevent workers and surroundingcommunities suffering from toxic gas.The flaring system for disposing sour normally applied inIndonesia has been evaluated this study. Flare Stacks typically attempt convert hydrogensulfide (H2S) gas streams into dioxide (SO2) water. amount ofSO2 emitted does not solely depend on H2S content gas, but also internalphysical factors, such as flare flow rate, heat content, exit velocity,and external factors cross wind velocity.This study focuses evaluation influence physical especiallyflare rate velocity, SO2 emission. In comply with regulationthe attempts search Government Indonesia Regulations which aresuitable purpose.
