Work History:
SNC Lavalin Inc. (Toronto, Canada) (2010-2015)
www.snclavalin.com
Project: ZADCO, ZIRKU Facilities Capacity Enhancement - Flare System Upgrade Project, ZIRKU
Island, UAE
Project Description: An existing flare system was upgraded to accommodate the loads from the expanded
facility as well as two major upstream production and gas treating units. Also, a
staggered depressuring arrangement was designed to minimize the flare excess load,
while meeting the industry standards in radiation, and depressuring time within the
plant restrictions. This project presented a challenge due to its terrain elevation and
congested existing facilities with regard to the routing of the flare header to the flare
risers. The challenge was to properly design the newly added low point “Boot” at the
Knock Out Drum downstream. Dynamic models of the major relief cases were
simulated to realistically size the boot and the liquid removal system, and to avoid
oversizing of these components.
