Electronic Spark Ignition (ESI)

Category:

The ESI ignition system provides rapid, reliable ignition and more importantly, instantaneous re-ignition if the pilot should ever lose its flame. This ignition system uses a fuel gas line much like other ignition systems, however, instead of a flame front generator it utilizes the “Excitor” which produces a high voltage spark directly in the pilot nozzle. This cutting edge innovation originated in the aerospace industry.

Model 100 Continuum Ignitor

The Model 100 Continuum Ignitor utilizes a high-voltage electric arc to ignite a combustible air/gas mixture. This arc occurs every 20 seconds for a two-second duration (timing is adjustable). The Continuum provides a spark inside a “slipstream” chamber that diverts a portion of the waste gas to create a combustible air/gas mixture. This allows the Continuum ignitor to function without pilot gas. The ignitor can be mounted on vertical and horizontal flares and is used in both onshore and offshore applications.

Model 270 Retrax Pilot

The Model 270 RETRAX is a high-tech, retractable, electronic pilot which meets the technical requirements of our clients. This advanced design allows the plant operators to lower the RETRAX pilots individually or all at once for ease of maintenance. Since the RETRAX can be lowered from grade, operators need not wait for a plant shut down to service the pilots. The Model 270 RETRAX allows customers to forego ladders and platforms all together which further saves our clients money in capital expenditure.

Model 245 Flame Front Generator Pilot

The Model 245 Fuel Efficient Flare Pilot is a high alloy, stainless steel pilot composed of fuel gas line, ignition line, inspirator, and optional thermocouple. The pilot head assembly includes a 310 stainless steel flame retention nozzle and wind shroud for extended service life while maintaining a capable of sustaining a stable flame in winds of up to 150 mph. Fuel gas passes through an inspirator at the base of the pilot, inducing air into the line and providing a combustible air/gas mixture. This gas exits the pilot head and is ignited by a fireball that travels up an ignition line.
