Health & Safety Hazard Identification/ Risk assessment/ Operational Plan

HSEQ-F-02 Rev: 04; Date: 29.03.2006

Process Flare system along with piping, knockout vessels & pumps.
Location Plant
Area Flare System
Process is Routine / Non-Routine
Frequency of process Daily
Process duration 24 Hrs
No. of personnel working 01
Process is Supervised / Not Supervised
Equipment to be work on Valves, vessel, pump (positive displacement pump)
Tools/Equipment to be work with Wheel keys.

Brief description of process:

Non-recoverable un-burnt gases as a result of abnormalities in operation are collected and burnt off through flare stack
in the form flare. A pilot burner (on natural gas/ refinery gas) remains in operation to burn gases in case of emergency at
the plant.

Overall Observations:

 Knock out vessels are provided to drain any liquid to flare stack. Water seal is provided at bottom of Flare Stack to absorb
any liquid and flash back from stack-top.
