Burners

  • Burners are used to dispose the oil at the surface during a well test
  • therefore avoid oil storage and pollution.
  • it limit heat radiation on rigs
  • by installing them on long booms that keep them at a safe distance from the rig.

Burners principles & Needs:-

  • Atomization of well effluent result in reduction in fine droplets.
  • propane for pilots
  • Electricity for lodge box
  • Air compressors
  • Water to prevent heat radiation

Burner features:-

    water ring for better Combustion Hearth to guide the Air pilot light
  • located below the atomizer
  • small propane burner with spark plug.
  • lit by sending high voltage from a remote control box (lodge box)
  • Ball valves to select number of heads. air and oil check valves to prevent air to pass to oil line and vice versa.
  • never use rig air supply, always use dedicated air compressors(usualy two)
  • a check valve is mounted on the upstream atomizor of the air line to prevent oil to go to compressor's engine.
  • A check valve is mounted on the oil line to prevent the air from entering the atomizer into the oil line.
  • swivel joint
  • act as pivot to support the whole burner
  • allow to the burner to br positioned up to 75 degrees

Booms

  • the burner is mounted on a boom to keep it away from the rig to reduce heat radiation
  • heat radiation is also controlled with curtains of water on boom.
  • the boom provides (gas flare pipe - and piping to supply air, water, oil and propane)
  • the booms are usually installed in opposite sides (port side and star port side) od the drilling rig for safe burning in changing winds.
  • Length: 60ft or 85ft
  • Structure: V shape or U shape
  • Equipments
  • king post
  • base plate
  • horizontal guy lines
  • Vertical guy lines
  • Booms mounted on the rig with a rotation base plate to allow horizontal and vertical movements
  • horizontal guy lines are used to orient the boom horizontally
  • vertical guy lines, fixed to the king post or rig structure, support the boom

  1. check the wind direction to the port or star port side
  2. make sure that the wind speed between 5knots and 30knots
  3. take the permission from the admin to flare
  4. tell the engine room to open the coolling system
  5. connect the ignition socket to Electricity
  6. line up the propane cylinder to the burner
  7. press the ignition green button to ignite the burner
  8. line up the Equipments to the burner
  9. while flaring ckeck always that there is no oil droping in the sea
