GUYED
Guy-supported (guyed) type stacks are one type of support system for an elevated flare. The
elevated flare tip is mounted on top of a riser supported through a system of cables
(guy-wires), typically arranged with a set of three (3) cables at 120 degree angles. Guyed
flares require 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. The
design of guy-supported flares requires special attention to process temperature conditions in
conjunction with multiple levels of guy-wires.
