Sweep Gas definition
Sweep Gas means, for a Flare with a Flare Gas Recovery System, the minimum amount of gas necessary to maintain a constant flow of gas through the Flare header in order to prevent oxygen buildup, corrosion or freezing in the Flare tip or header; Sweep Gas in these Flares is introduced prior to and recovered by the Flare Gas Recovery System. Sweep Gas may be added to certain FGRS bypass lines that contain gas that is not Potentially Recoverable Gas. For a Flare without a Flare Gas Recovery System, Sweep Gas means the minimum amount of gas necessary to maintain a constant flow of gas through the Flare header in order to prevent oxygen buildup, corrosion or freezing in the Flare header or tip and to prevent oxygen infiltration (backflow) into the Flare tip.
Sweep Gas means gas intentionally introduced into a Flare header system to maintain a constant flow of gas through the Flare header in order to prevent oxygen buildup in the Flare header. Sweep Gas is introduced prior to and recovered by the Flare Gas Recovery System.

Sweep Gas means the minimum amount of gas introduced into the flare header to (a) prevent oxygen buildup, corrosion, and/or freezing in the flare header; (b) maintain a safe flow of gas through the flare header; including a higher flow during hot taps; and (c) prevent oxygen infiltration (backflow) into the flare tip.
