Abstract:
Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for providing flare header information. Instantaneous flaring flowrate data is received from flaring sources of a flare network of a processing facility. The instantaneous flaring flowrate data is analyzed in conjunction with physical properties of relief sources obtained from a heat and material balance of the processing facility. A heating value and a molecular weight are determined for each relief source and flare header using a processing model associated with a relief source type, size, and identifications. The relief sources are connected using a data signal received and processed using the processing model. Reports are generated showing average daily heating values and molecular weights for each flare header. A real-time display is provided for monitoring instantaneous heating values and molecular weights for each flare header on a real-time basis.
