Sour Gas Flare Simulations

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a common component of gas streams flared in Western Canada. Large Eddy Simulations (LES) have been used to study the impact of H2S on carbon and sulfur combustion efficiency.

The objective of this project was to develop a simulation tool for a sour gas flare in order to predict flare performance for a range of flare operating conditions.

John Zink Flare Simulation

The University of Utah and the John Zink Corporation are engaged in a joint project to develop an LES flare simulation package for industry use that includes validation.
