Abstract

Flaring has been widely used in the upstream operation of the oil and gas industry, both onshore and offshore. It is considered a safe and reliable way to protect assets from overpressure and the environment from toxic gas using combustion. However, there are drawbacks to using flares, such as vibration and thermal radiation. Excessive contact with thermal radiation is harmful to offshore personnel and equipment. Research organizations and companies have invested time and money to combat this. Many technologies have been developed so far to reduce the risk of thermal radiation, one of them being the water curtain system. Several tests were done to see the effectiveness of the water curtain system in mitigating thermal radiation in an offshore environment. Each test varied in the flare output, wind speed, and the size of water droplets size of the water curtain. Later, the results of each test were compared and analyzed. The results showed that a water curtain system could be a solution to excessive thermal radiation that comes from an offshore flare. Moreover, the water curtain with smaller water droplets diameter gives a more favorable result in reducing thermal radiation. These results suggest that, although it offers simplicity and efficiency, designing an efficient water curtain system requires deep study. Various conditions, such as wind speed, flare intensity, and the size of the water droplets, plays a vital role in the effectiveness of the water curtain system in attenuating thermal radiation.
