Flare System Compliance: Australian Standards Upgrade
Australia
The Problem
A biomass pyrolysis system required urgent modifications to meet Australian safety standards for emergency shutdowns. The existing gas train lacked sufficient fail-safes and didn’t meet the required closure-speed benchmarks for hazardous area operations.
The Solution
Lyntra re-engineered the gas handling system to ensure rapid, high-integrity isolation during a shutdown event. Key upgrades included:
- Hardware Integration: Installing dual “slam-shut” valves to provide redundancy and meet strict closure-time requirements.
- Piping Redesign: Rerouting gas lines to optimize flow and improve the physical footprint of the safety train.
- Operational Logic: Developing a revised shutdown procedure that aligned the physical hardware with safe operational protocols.
The Outcome
The system was brought into full compliance with Australian safety codes, moving the pyrolysis factilty from high-risk to a site-ready industrial asset.
