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.
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.
