FLARESIMTM has been developed to assist professional engineers in the design and evaluation of are systems.

The program calculates thermal radiation and noise generated by ares and estimates the temperatures of exposed surfaces. FLARESIMTM handles multiple tip congurations on vertical, horizontal or inclined stacks. As well as API standard methods, FLARESIM includes vendor proprietary algorithms . FLARESIMTM builds on the success of the earlier DOS version which has become the standard for are analysis in the process industry. Flaresim is used by are system vendors, Engineering & Construction companies and operating companies worldwide.

Features
Equally applicable to the design of are systems for offshore platforms, gas plants, reneries and chemical plants. Data may be entered and reported in the users choice of units and may be converted at any time. Correlations for modelling a range of are tips including sonic tips, pipeare tips and steam or air assisted tips. For assisted ares the quantity of steam or air required for smokeless operation can be calculated. Multiple environmental scenarios allowing rapid evaluation of are systems under different wind speeds and directions. Unlimited combinations of stacks, booms and are tips. Calculation of radiation, noise spectrum and surface temperatures at multiple receptor points. Ability to dene multiple receptor grids in multiple planes for calculation of radiation, noise or surface temperatures. Plotting of grid radiation, noise and surface temperature results as isopleth contours for sterile area denition. Receptor point characteristics for calculating surface temperatures include mass, absorbtivity, emissivity, area, specic heat, orientation and initial temperature. Sizing of stack or boom length to meet radiation, noise or surface temperature limits at dened receptor points. Import of les from DOS version of Flaresim. Flexible reports including Quality Assurance options.

Multiple correlations to predict the emissivity of a wide range of hydrocarbon uids with different are tips. Liquid aring systems can be handled. Wide range of algorithms for calculation of thermal radiation. Includes integrated multipoint methods and the Hajek/Ludwig and Brzustowski/Sommer methods described in the API guidelines for are system design. Full 3D ame shape analysis with complete exibility in specication of the location and orientation of multiple stacks. Range of options for analysing the noise spectrum generated by are systems including user dened noise spectra.
