§ 35 Depressurisation and flare system
Onshore facilities equipped with or connected to process facilities shall have a depressurisation and flare system. The systems shall prevent escalation of hazard and accident situations by quickly reducing the pressure in the equipment, and shall be designed so that gas releases do not harm personnel or equipment.
It shall be possible to activate the depressurisation manually from the central control room.
Liquid separators installed in the flare system shall be secured against overfilling.
