FLARESIMTM has been developed to assist professional engineers in the design and evaluation of fl are systems. The program calculates thermal radiation and noise generated by fl ares and estimates the temperatures of exposed surfaces.

FLARESIMTM handles multiple tip confi gurations 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 fl are analysis in the process industry. FLARESIM is used by fl are system vendors, Engineering & Construction companies and operating companies worldwide.

Equally applicable to the design of fl are systems for offshore platforms, gas plants, refi neries and chemical plants.

Data may be entered and reported in the users choice of units and may be converted at any time.

Correlations for modelling a range of fl are tips including sonic tips, pipefl are tips and steam or air assisted tips. For assisted fl ares 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 fl uids with different fl are tips.

Liquid fl aring 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 fl are system design.

Full 3D fl ame shape analysis with complete fl exibility in specifi cation of the location and orientation of multiple stacks.

Range of options for analysing the noise spectrum generated by fl are systems including user defi ned noise spectra.
