Flame front generators (FFG)

Category:

Flame front generators are effective, time proven ignition systems which have been widely used in flaring applications for decades. The inherent reliability, rugged construction, ease of operation, and its economic advantages have allowed the flame front generator (FFG) to remain one of the most popular forms of pilot ignition in the industry. The FFG is easily adaptable to any pilot system which incorporates an ignition tube and may be installed up to 1 mile (1600m) from the base of the flare stack. Both Automatic and manual modes are available.

Model 850 Flamex Pilot

The Model 850 Pilot is a time-proven product that combines electric spark ignition with continuous spark monitoring, thermocouple monitoring, and retractability. The combination of these highly-demanded features has made the high-alloy, stainless steel Model 850 Pilot one of the most well-received ignition systems on the market. This electric pilot provides a rapid, direct spark every 10 to 20 seconds, ensuring reliable ignition. The Model 850 features an inspirator that induces air into the fuel gas line, creating a combustible mixture for the pilot to ignite.

Electronic Spark Ignition (ESI)

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 255 Geminex Pilot

The Model 255 pilot is a combination of our Model 245 pilot and Model 250 Energex pilot. The Model 255 pilot can be ignited using a flame front generator and/or the high-energy excitor (electronic sparking device). This pilot inherently provides redundancy in the event that one ignition system should fail to ignite the pilot for any reason. This pilot is a popular selection in critical applications that require redundant ignition systems.
