Flare Analyzers
About Flare Analyzer Services
Flare environment provides unique engineering challenges due to the extreme variability of the gas or liquid content. Monitoring specified sulfur and other individual components that contribute to the HHV and NHV content of the flare gas requires unique sample system designs and analyzer selection.
Understanding of the process conditions, analyzer technology, standards and your in-house capabilities are important factors in reliability, integrity, and long term operability of Flare analyzer system.
Our Mangan Analyzer Engineering Team has engineered 15 flare monitoring analyzer shelters using Gas Chromatograph (GC) and Mass Spectrometers. Our years of experience in maintaining these flare analyzers for our clients has provided our team hands on experience that even the analyzer vendors don’t have. This unique insight in end user needs is reflected in engineering & design and ultimately the long term operability and reliability of our systems.

Flare Analyzers Challenges
- Flare environments provide special challenges owing to the extreme variability of the gas content (or liquid!)
- Sample conditioning is extremely difficult yet critical if these systems are to perform
- Rule 1118 requires measurements of sulfur from 20 ppm to 25%.This requires multiple range systems with saturation protection
- Rule 1118 requires measurements of sulfur from 20 ppm to 25%.This requires multiple range systems with saturation protection
- Mandated uptime requirements demand that these systems be robust
- Implementation of EPA 40 CFR Subpart Ja and 40 CFR 63 Subpart CC (RSR)
Commissioning Considerations
- Install probe & connect tube bundle during commissioning
- Pre-requisites – FAT and SAT completed; MOC and PSSR requirements, training, operator orientation
- SAT Plan to cover physical equipment cutover and procedural issues–confirmation of DCS/data functions, alarms, second shift coverage etc.
- Multi-discipline Commissioning Team: Operations, Analyzer Maintenance, Environmental, Control Systems, Mangan.
