Model 275 Pilot

Category:

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.

Flame front generators (FFG)

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.

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 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.
