In the perspective of global warming, every hydrocarbon plant needs an efficient flare system. The efficiency, longevity and cost-effective design comes through proper material selection. To avoid the fatigue failure of the flare system needs a suitable piping design considering mechanical properties. In the managerial aspect, a company focuses on supply lead time and money. In this paper, a certain number of alternative flare pipes are chosen by the optimization process considering important criteria. The technical, economic and supply time is the important pillar of the designing process. Due to the entropy process and sensitivity analysis, the results are more accurate as well as the design process is smooth. The methodology of Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) are implemented first time and comparative Analysis is to find out the best material for better product development. Keywords: Flare system; Material Selection; Sensitivity Analysis; Entropy; SAW; TOPSIS; Onshore; Hydrocarbon industry 1. Introduction Improperly designed flares may emit methane, sulphur and other volatile organic compounds which creates the problem of our respiratory system and this impact is negatively in environment. This pressure safety device work properly when materials selection goes through scientifically. Economically and proper technically designed flare system is viable for present market scenario. Undesired flammable gases are burnt by flare system, so the essential designing is should be needed through suitable material selection. In practical world, a decision maker has to choose on one among the multiple alternative projects. Specially in piping selection process, it is very difficult task to selection and evaluation of the proposed pipe. The material selection methodologies are reviewed for replacing the existing material to select a right candidate material of Flare system of hydrocarbon industry, the selection of material methodologies presented in this article contains important selection attributes and its applications ✓ Sotoodeh, K.
