Why Choose this Training Course

This is a virtual instructor-led flare systems training. Flare systems are used throughout the petrochemical, oil refining and upstream oil and gas industries and serve as key relief and abatement systems. However, if not designed, operated and maintained correctly they can, and have, been involved in both minor and major accidents.

This flare systems training course covers a comprehensive review of the operations and equipment on offshore and onshore systems of all types. This includes categorising and reviewing the key hazards which must be controlled; using examples of past industry accidents and incidents, and errors in design that were revealed only in operation.

In this way, delegates will gain a good understanding of the factors to develop safe process schemes; the aspects of controlled flare system operation, maintenance and plant modification; and finally effective process safety and environmental compliance over cycle of a flare system.

Who Should Attend

Anyone who is involved in the design, operations, maintenance and safety of flaring systems, not limiting to the below job titles:

• Process Engineers
• Operations and Production Engineers
• Mechanical and Piping Engineers
• Instrumentation and Control Engineers
• HSE Engineers
• Projects Team
• Emergency Response Team

Key Learning Objectives

By the end of the course delegates will understand:

• the components of a flare system, how they work, why these components, which make up a flare disposal system, are there and how they can fail or be rendered ineffective
• key principles for ensuring flare system safety
• the key types of incidents and accidents and be able to use this knowledge in the design, operation, modification and maintenance
• the regulatory requirements from safety and environmental regulations such as COMAH and PPC regulations

Each participant will receive a comprehensive course manual for use during the course and as a permanent reference guide after the course.
