SHV

Flare System
The environmental solution to reconcentrator off vapor contamination
Now the emissions from your reconcentrator can go up
in flames. The Cameron SHV Flare System:
Virtually eliminates liquid collection/ liquid disposal
Provides 98% Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
destruction efficiency
Reduces or eliminates reconcentrator back pressure
Controls odors
Requires minimal supplemental fuel
Promotes efficient and complete combustion
Designed to US EPA Title 4-part 60 subpart HHH
Referenced Title 40 part 63.11(b) (6) (ii) and (b) (7) (i)
Emission control Glycol Dehydration Process
Glycol Dehydration is a common method used by the oil
and gas industry to remove water vapor from natural gas
streams. However, fugitive vapors from the reconcentrator
contain undesirable emissions and produce unpleasant
odors (see Glycol Dehydration Process on reverse side).
Components parts
The improved Cameron process for flaring, or the
incineration of the vent gas stream, provides a safe,
efficient and effective method for proper waste disposal.
The SHV Flare System is designed for easy retrofit to
existing systems. It virtually eliminates all emissions and
liquid disposal problems commonly associated with this
process.
Table 1 provides specifications to handle your specific
requirements.
The SHV Flare System
Utilizes waste heat from reboiler exhaust stack to
superheat the fugitive vapor to allow proper oxidation
and incineration of the hydrocarbons
Reduces or eliminates reconcentrator back pressure,
resulting in maximum glycol purity
Provides a smokeless flame
The patented SHV Flare System incorporates the following
components:
The economical vapor superheater allows maximum
contaminant destruction
The liquids collection chamber provides an automated
efficient means of collecting liquids accumulated during
equipment start-up and a means of proper liquid disposal
The flare gas eductor provides a positive energy source
for fugitive gas inspiration and support fuel mixing
The primary air inductor promotes a clean burning,

PROCESS SYSTEMS
Glycol Dehydration Emissions
In a standard glycol regeneration system,
the rich, wet glycol may contain varying
amounts of absorbed hydrocarbons and other
contaminants. During the reconcentration
process, the water-rich glycol is heated to
temperature of 380 F to 400 F.
Without SHV Flare System, the vaporized
water, along with contaminants, are vented to
the atmosphere (Stream 12, Figure 1). If left
untreated, they can become an environmental
problem. Camerons SHV Flare System solves
the treatment and emission problem.
SHV Flare System Diagram
(Figure 2) The SHV Flare System can be
supplied with new equipment or retrofitted to
existing glycol dehydration systems.
The vented gasses, a combination of liquids
and vapors (stream 12) which are expelled
from the glycol during the reconcentrator
process, flow to an integral exchanger (vapor
superheater) where they are heated by the
reboiler stack flue gas (stream 13).
The superheated vapors are piped through
an Inline Arrestor which retards flame
propagation (stream 14).
The vapor and condensate liquid flow into
the flare inlet (stream 15). The liquids are
gravity fed into the liquid collection chamber
(blowcase) in the base of the flare support.
The superheated vapors inspirated to the
low pressure side of the flare gas eductor
(stream 17).
Natural gas (stream 16) is used as
supplemental fuel, increasing the Btu level of
the waste gas stream to a level required for
complete combustion.
Recovered condensated liquids are separated
from the superheated vapor flowing into the
blow case (stream 18) located in the bottom of
the flare base. The nominal amount of liquids
are sent to an acceptable collection point for
disposal (stream 19).
