EJECTOR AND FUEL CELL-BASED FLARE GAS RECOVERY SYSTEM

A flare gas recovery system includes an ejector that receives flare gas from a suction line extending from a flare gas header, and further receives a motive fluid that draws the flare gas into the ejector to be mixed with the motive fluid and discharge a recovered gas into a discharge gas line. A solid oxide fuel cell system receives the recovered gas and includes a fuel cell power module that uses the recovered gas to generate electrical power, an anode exhaust, and a cathode exhaust, a combustor that receives and combusts at least a portion of the anode and cathode exhausts and thereby generates waste heat, and a process gas heat exchanger that receives and converts the waste heat into electrical power.
