Device for recovering excess gas in a plant for the treatment of oil and gas

摘要

The invention relates to the recovery of excess gas which is formed in an oil/gas treatment plant, more specifically in a production plant where gas-containing oil in a separation plant is separated into a gas fraction and an oil fraction which are individually advanced for respective applications. The excess gas is advanced for recovery through a special collection conduit (40) on which there is coupled a branch conduit (72) which leads to a torch (74), and which comprises valves (76, 78) which are primarily closed, but which secondarily are adapted to open for the flow of gas to a torch (74) when the pressure of the excess gas exceeds a given value and/or when an irregular emergency situation occurs in the plant. There is also mentioned a concrete solution for joining of the excess gas with the extracted process gas.
