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 250 Energex Pilot

The Model 250 Energex Pilot is a high alloy, stainless steel pilot which combines a high voltage electronic excitor and a high energy spark rod to provide rapid, reliable ignition. More importantly, the Energex pilot provides instantaneous re-ignition if the pilot should ever lose its flame. This pilot system uses a fuel gas line much like other standard pilots, however, instead of a flame front generator it utilizes an excitor capable of producing a high voltage arc inside the pilot nozzle. Due to the integral location in the pilot head, the spark rod can initiate ignition immediately.

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.

Model 275 Pilot

The Model 275 pilot is a high-tech, retractable pilot that has been adapted to operate on both high-energy electronic ignition and flame front ignition. Technically, the Model 275 pilot is a combination of the Model 270 Retrax Pilot and the Model 255 FFG Pilot, allowing for redundant ignition technology and retractability. This design allows the operator to retract pilots individually or all at once for ease of maintenance. Since the Model 275 Pilot can be lowered from grade, operators need not wait for a plant shut down to service the pilots, while allowing the client to forego ladders and platforms.
