GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Utility flares are one of the most common and basic flare designs. Utility flares are employed in applications that do not require smokeless burning or in applications where smokeless flaring can be achieved without the use of an additional assist medium.  Utility flares therefore, do not require auxiliary gas streams such as steam or air; two fluids normally used to improve smokeless capacity.  These flares are typically accompanied by a Dynamic Seal in the base of the tip to reduce purge gas costs and prevent flashback.  Additionally, the Flare Industries’ Utility Tip incorporates a flame retention ring to eliminate flame lift-off and provide stable, reliable combustion.

ADVANTAGES

  • Cost effective (capital as well as operating costs)
  • Low maintenance costs due to simplicity of design
  • Stable, reliable combustion

Sonic Flares – Mach 1

Mach-1 Sonic Flares are used in both onshore and offshore applications to dispose of high pressure waste gas streams with high smokeless capacities. By efficiently inducing high volumes of ambient air for more complete, smokeless combustion at sonic velocities, this advanced flaring technology allows for reduced levels of radiation, and can be placed at lower, less visible elevations, allowing for a more cost-effective flaring solution. Mach-1 sonic flare technology can be applied in multi-point orientations which accomodate flame length restrictions.

Peacook liquid Burner

The Peacock Burner was developed to flare liquid hydrocarbons without liquid fallout or soot formation (smoke). These burners provide excellent service for well testing operations and have been used in applications in the Gulf of Mexico and Arabian Gulf. When only oil is flared, a high pressure air or gas source is required to provide mechanical atomization which ensures the mixture is a fine mist as it exits the burner nozzle. This particular burner nozzle is designed to accept separate high pressure oil and air/gas streams. for maximum efficiency.

Flame Ring Flares (Low Heating Value)

Carbon dioxide is often used in fire extinguishers and snuffing systems with the intention of effectively extinguishing flames. When CO2 gas is a large percentage of a waste gas stream, at times it proves difficult to maintain a lit flare, without the use of assist gas or a flame ring. Flare Industries’ industry-proven Flame Ring Flare Technology is recommended in low-BTU applications such as those involving large quantities of CO2 gas. A circumferential ring of fire at the flare tip provides stable, reliable ignition and prevents potential auto-suppression of the flame in these low-BTU applications.
