Why do they burn gas constantly in oil refineries?
In: Engineering
There are also “scrubbers” that help filter what’s being flared to reduce more of the “less good” stuff.
There can be emergencies (hopefully and thankfully kept to an absolute minimum) where flaring regardless of how bad is still far better than a failure in the refinery. These incidents and exceedances are carefully monitored and require substantial reporting to regulatory authorities.
