DEVELOPMENT, ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A 292 FT TALL SELF-ERECTING FLARE TOWER FOR OFFSHORE APPLICATION
This paper describes the development of a 292 ft tall flare tower applicable for large offshore production facilities. First of its kind in a flare tower design, an innovative but well proven self-erecting technique is used. The technique aimed at eliminating the transportation and erection costs. The structural concept is known as Self-Erecting Flare Tower (SEFT). In the SEFT concept, the tower is segmented into a number of small manageable sections. A jacket type bottom section is used to support telescoping the tower sections. The design, erection procedure, technical and functional feasibility of the SEFT concept are discussed. A cost comparison study with a conventional flare tower is given.
