    Pressure relief systems, including flare systems, are vital in the oil and gas industry for handling a wide variety of situations.  In some cases non-combustible gases including steam, air, and nitrogen are safely vented to atmosphere.  In other cases elaborate systems for the safe and responsible disposal of vented gases may be required.  The purpose of this course is to develop a working knowledge, in participants, of the different systems that are used to prevent pressurization above a system’s design pressure, for venting during an unusual or emergency situation, and for normal depressurization during a shutdown.  

    The flare system is an essential part of the relief and depressurizing mechanism associated with safe plant operations.  It is vital that when called upon to operate, it functions as designed and does not introduce new hazards at a time of emergency.  Participants will learn about the overpressure situation and how the flare header receives the flammable and toxic materials to be safely burned at the flare ensuring safe disposal and environmental compliance.

    This course will give participants the fundamental knowledge on relief and flare systems to enable them to safely conduct operating and maintenance procedures and to be aware of emergency operations as related to the plant process safety systems.

    This course is mainly targeted to process technicians, process technologists, instrumentation personnel, and maintenance personnel. The course can also be applicable to employees working with equipment purchasing, procurement, storage, job planning, as well as immediate supervisors to the working technicians.

    Participants should have some recent exposure to oil and gas facility terminology.
