Slot-Fow Ais-Assist Flares (SFVP)

Categories: ,

Slot Flow Air Assisted flares are comprised of two concentric risers (waste gas and air) and a blower system that provides supplemental combustion air. Air is fed by the blower into the air riser, to combine with the process gas, which passes through its own secondary riser. Upon mixing, the high-pressure airflow causes turbulence in the waste gas stream, improving mixing, and ultimately combustion efficiency. SFVP flares generally dispose of heavier waste gases which have a greater tendency to smoke.

Utility Flare

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

Steam Assisted Flares

Steam assisted flares are flares designed to dispose of heavier molecular weight gases which have a tendency to smoke. In order to prevent smoke formation, steam is injected into the waste stream using peripheral steam rings, center stream spargers and/or inner induction tubes. Steam flares are used in applications where high pressure steam is available on site. Steam flares are typically found in downstream applications where high efficiency combustion of heavily hydrocarbons is required.

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.
