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.
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.
