GUYED DERRICK
Guyed derrick type stacks are one type of support system for an elevated flare. The elevated flare tip is mounted on top of a riser supported by both a steel trussed derrick structure and through a system of cables (guy-wires), typically arranged with a set of three (3) cables at 120 degree angles. Similar to a guyed flare, a guy derrick flare requires multiple deadman foundation anchors to anchor the cables to the ground, and therefore this support system necessitates a larger plot space than other support systems. It also requires a smaller, more economical derrick structure compared to a conventional type of derrick supported flare. Guyed derrick flares eliminate concerns associated with process temperature designs.
