Steam Assisted Flares

Category:

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.

Flame Ring Flares (Low Heating Value)

Carbon dioxide is often used in fire extinguishers and snuffing systems with the intention of effectively extinguishing flames. When CO2 gas is a large percentage of a waste gas stream, at times it proves difficult to maintain a lit flare, without the use of assist gas or a flame ring. Flare Industries’ industry-proven Flame Ring Flare Technology is recommended in low-BTU applications such as those involving large quantities of CO2 gas. A circumferential ring of fire at the flare tip provides stable, reliable ignition and prevents potential auto-suppression of the flame in these low-BTU applications.

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.

Sonic Flares – VariMach

The VariMach sonic flare tip features spring-actuated variable sonic nozzles that allow the exit area to vary with pressure, ensuring constant sonic velocity of waste gas. This industry-proven technology guarantees sufficient inspiration of air to ensure 100% smokeless combustion and infinite turndown. Radiation levels are also minimized throughout the entire range of flow, yielding shorter stack heights and reducing material costs. Additionally, the VariMach has the lowest purge rate of any flare technology on the market, minimizing utility costs while maintaining flashback protection.
