What is liquid injection incinerator?
What is liquid injection incinerator?
Nozzles mount horizontally and/or vertical spray liquid hazardous wastes into liquid injection incinerators. That is, the wastes are atomized to match the waste being handled with the combustion chamber as determined in laboratory testing.
What is chemical plant flaring?
In industrial plants, flare stacks are primarily used for burning off flammable gas released by safety valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. During plant or partial plant startups and shutdowns, they are also often used for the planned combustion of gases over relatively short periods.
What is flare type?
Flare fittings are a type of compression fitting used with metal tubing, usually soft steel, ductile (soft) copper and aluminum, though other materials are also used. Tube flaring is a type of forging operation, and is usually a cold working procedure. JIC fittings are typically steel or stainless steel.
What is the difference between flaring and incineration?
Flaring is the igniting of natural gas at the end of a flare stack—a long metal tube up which the gas is sent. This causes the characteristic flame associated with flaring. Incineration is the mixing and combusting of waste gas streams, air, and fuel in an enclosed chamber.
Which is better a flare stack or an incinerator?
Many factors can affect combustion efficiency. For example, a flare stack exposed to windy conditions may perform at a lower efficiency than a stack that operates in calm conditions. However, due to their height, flare stacks often better disperse emissions into the atmosphere in hilly or mountainous terrain than do incinerators.
What do you need to know about incineration?
Incineration is the mixing and combusting of waste gas streams, air, and fuel in an enclosed chamber. Air and gas are mixed at a controlled rate and ignited. No flame is visible from an incinerator that is operating properly.
How does the AER regulate flaring and incineration?
The AER regulates flaring and incineration through performance and reporting requirements, permits, and data collection, as detailed in Directive 060: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring, Incinerating, and Venting.
