Mitigation of burn pits in Dukhan

Escher Process Modules carried out the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of the eight Flare Packages with molecular Seals and an Ignition System for the burn pit project at Dukhan for Qatar Petroleum. The flares will replace the eight burn pits of the Dukhan gas fields of Qatar Petroleum. All burn pits will be replaced by the end of 2015.

Escher Process Modules was responsible for the overall design of the complete flare systems and delivered the designs, flare tips, molecular seals, guyed wires and ignition panels. Each flare system consists of a flare stack of 20 or 18 inches in diameter and 60 metres tall. The stack is supported by a guy wired system. A molecular seal (purge gas reduction device) will be installed on the fl are stack. On top of this, there will be an open pipe type flare tip with pilot burners.

This project was executed in cooperation with our partner Petroserv, located in Qatar. Petroserv was responsible for the complete EPIC of the project.
