UTILITY FLARES
ADVANTAGES Cost effective (capital as well as operating costs) Low maintenance costs due to simplicity of design Stable, reliable combustion
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
Utility flares are one of the most common and basic flare designs. Utility flares are employed in applications which 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.

DESCRIPTION
Air assist flares smokeless dispose of heavier waste gases which have greater tendency to smoke. Air Assist flares can be employed at sites where steam may not be available. Air flare systems are composed of two concentric risers and one or more blowers providing supplemental combustion air. A blower forces air into an outer air annulus where the process gas passes through an inner riser and upon reaching the flare tip, these two streams intermix. This air assist has three principle effects: High-pressure airflow causes turbulence in the waste stream which improves mixing and therefore enhances combustion efficiency. Additional air is induced into the waste gas providing the oxygen necessary for augmented smokeless capacity. Constant airflow creates a cooling effect for extended flare tip service life.

Steam assisted flares are designed to dispose of heavier waste gases which have a greater tendency to smoke. In order to prevent incomplete combustion, steam is injected into the waste stream using peripheral steam rings, center steam spargers, and/or inner induction tubes. The injection of steam has two principal effects: High-pressure steam flow causes turbulence in the waste stream which improves mixing and therefore improves combustion efficiency. Additional air is induced into the waste gas providing the oxygen necessary for augmented smokeless capacity. Steam flares are typically used in applications where the customer has high-pressure steam available on site.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
MACH 1 is the speed of sound. Flare Industries cutting edge MACH-1 sonic flaring technology operates at this velocity in order to combust waste gas smokelessly. Sonic flares utilize multi-point exit nozzles to dispose of high pressure waste gas streams. The MACH-1 Sonic Flare Tip utilizes the pressure of the waste stream (creating sonic exit velocities) to create turbulent mixing and induce excess quantities of air for more complete combustion. Sonic flare tips emit reduced levels of radiation and can be placed at lower, less visible elevations. This advanced flaring technology is excellent for applications with high pressure waste gases and high capacity smokeless requirements.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The AirMach flaring system was developed to specifically address the problems associated with sonic velocity flares operating at sub-sonic flow rates. Sonic flares operating at sub-sonic exit velocities will smoke when heavier waste gas flows are present. The AirMach provides smokeless flaring performance at lower flow conditions utilizing a blower for combustion air. In this application, the AirMach operates as a traditional air-assist flare. As the waste gas flow increases, the flame geometry transitions from an air assisted smokeless condition to a momentum dominated smokeless performance. Unlike conventional air-assist flares, the AirMachs blower air requirement reduces as the waste flow increases. Typically, the AirMach blowers horsepower requirement is over 50% less than a

FLAME RING FLARE

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
ADVANTAGES Capable of burning low BTU gas streams Disposes of waste gas with high CO2 and CO content Higher flow capacity for high CO2 and CO waste streams Stable, reliable combustion due to flame retention ring Long service life under normal flow conditions
Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, is often used in fire extinguishers and snuffing systems; so you can imagine what it is like to try and burn it. Many of our clients have flare applications which require disposal of gas streams with high carbon dioxide content. As the volumetric percentage of CO2 increases, the flaring capacity of a given flare system decreases. The Flame Ring Flare Technology is used to provide a veritable ring of fire at the perimeter of the flare tip; thus ensuring proper ignition and stable combustion of these waste gases. This technology also increases the capacity of the flare system by preventing auto-suppression of the flame, caused by high quantities of CO2, CO, or low heating value waste streams. The Flame Ring Flare Tip by Flare Industries is the perfect solution for these types of applications.

PEACOCK OIL BURNER

GENERAL
ADVANTAGES Oil and condensate burning Efficient atomizing technology Environmentally friendly burner Stable, reliable combustion
DESCRIPTION
The Peacock Oil 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 all over the world, including the Gulf of Mexico and Persian Gulf. When only oil is flared, a high pressure air or gas source is required to provide additional mechanical atomization to ensure the mixture is a fine mist when it exits the burner nozzle. This particular burner nozzle is designed to accept separate high pressure oil and air/gas streams. If the waste stream is an oil/gas mixture, a spider burner will be installed instead of the atomizing burner nozzle.

MODEL 245 FUEL EFFICIENT PILOT

ADVANTAGES
Low fuel consumption Ease of installation and/or retro-fit applications Durability due to high alloy, stainless steel construction Reliability: ignition and re-ignition Flame stability: wind velocities up to 150 mph (240 km/hr)
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The Model 245 Fuel Efficient Flare Pilot is a high alloy, stainless steel pilot operating on fuel gas and in conjunction with a flame front generator. It is composed of the pilot head, fuel gas line, ignition line, inspirator, and optional thermocouple.

ADVANTAGES Rapid re-ignition response time Low fuel consumption Ease of installation and/or retro-fit applications Durability due to high alloy, stainless steel construction Reliability: ignition and re-ignition Flame stability: wind velocities up to 150 mph (240 km/hr)
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The Model 250 ENGERGEX Pilot is a high alloy, stainless steel pilot which combines a high voltage electronic Excitor and a high energy spark rod to provide rapid, reliable ignition. More importantly, the ENERGEX pilot provides instantaneous re-ignition if the pilot should ever lose its flame. This pilot system uses a fuel gas line much like other standard pilots, however, instead of a flame front generator it utilizes the Excitor which produces a high voltage arc inside the pilot nozzle. An inspirator induces air into the fuel gas line creating a combustible mixture for the Excitor to ignite. After ignition, if the flame should ever go out the thermocouple will sense this loss of flame and will send a signal to the control panel. The Excitor then begins to arc until the pilot is lit and the thermocouple no longer senses a flame failure. The spark rod, because of its integral location in the pilot head, can initiate re-ignition immediately. The Model 250 ENGERGEX Pilot is an innovative solution for flaring applications in which extended downtime is a critical concern.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
Flame front generator technology is an effective, time proven ignition system which has been widely used in flaring applications for decades. The inherent reliability, rugged construction, and ease of operation as well as 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. Flare Industries designs and manufactures several styles of FFG systems which can operate in automatic or manual mode. Flame Front Generators first meter and then combine fuel gas and air, thereby creating a combustible air/gas mixture in the ignition line. This metering and mixing process is accomplished through the use of small valve trains placed on the FFG control panel.
Model 300 Flame Front Generator

The Model 300 Manual Flame Front Generator is a manual system which requires an operator to physically initiate the ignition process by depressing a button on the FFG control panel. Once the ignition line is filled with this combustible mixture, a spark is created within the ignition chamber and igniting the mixture. Next, a flame front or fireball propagates through the ignition tube and ignites the pilot(s). Once the pilots are lit, the flare is ready to ignite the process gas exiting the flare tip.

Model 310/330 Self Inspirating Flame Front Generator

The Model 310 is Flare Industries manual self inspirating flame front generator while the Model 330 boasts an automatic control system for ignition and reignition. These two models do not require instrument air as they are designed to inspirate ambient air. Flare Industries employs this technology when a client does not wish to supply instrument air or when located in a remote area where instrument air may not be available. This extremely reliable and easy to operate ignition system uses the same basic design principles and possesses most of the same features as the Models 300 and 320.

GENERAL
ADVANTAGES Reduced flame visibility due to enclosed burner shroud Minimal noise Minimal heat radiation due to ceramic insulation Ease of emissions sampling and testing Extremely high destruction efficiencies Smokeless combustion Greater control of combustion temperature Reduced stack visibility due to low profile
DESCRIPTION
Flare Industries FIRECATTM Thermal Oxidizers are enclosed flares that incinerate the process or waste stream while maintaining a precise destruction temperature. The control scheme for this type of enclosed flare precisely monitors and controls a blower, assist gas, and combustion chamber temperature. This control system consists of a PLC, UV scanner, thermocouples, pressure switches, and a multitude of other control components depending on the complexity of the system. The thermal oxidizer is ideal for sensitive areas due to the following benefits: reduced flame visibility, minimal heat and noise, emissions sampling ease, and smokeless combustion. Flare Industries FIRECATTM Thermal Oxidizer attains extremely high destruction efficiencies by assuring the required residence time at an exact temperature. Thermal oxidizers may require supplemental assist gas streams depending on whether the process stream can sustain combustion.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
Exorbitant fuel costs is perhaps the most distressing concern when considering which type of thermal oxidizer to choose. One way to hedge this variable cost is to employ some form of heat or energy recovery. FIRECATTM Recuperative Oxidizers employ shell and tube heat exchangers, boilers, or hot oil heaters to take advantage of the heat available in the flue gases. In this way, flue gases constantly heat oil, create steam, or preheat waste gases and combustion air, thereby reducing fuel gas consumption.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
Does a typical thermal oxidizer really burn more fuel per day than the space shuttle Discovery? Well, thats debatable. The fuel savings of the Flare Industries Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) versus a standard thermal oxidizer is not debatable. This technology is most often used to dispose of high volume, hydrocarbon laden air streams which typically require large quantities of fuel gas to maintain the combustion chamber temperature. The Flare Industries RTO achieves at least 95% effective heat recovery which saves our customers money in fuel and daily operating costs. Converting solvent laden fumes into harmless byproducts is the primary objective of the Flare Industries RTO. This state of the art design consists of a central combustion or residence chamber and two or more media filled recovery beds. The RTO directs process gases to the inlet and outlet chambers alternately, thereby reheating the media beds. These media beds then preheat the waste stream, providing at least 95% effective heat recovery, while still maintaining greater than 99% destruction efficiency.

F U L LY E N C L O S E D FLARE
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION The Fully Enclosed Flare (FEF) is a completely enclosed flare system in which combustion occurs inside an insulated flare stack and in a controlled environment. Enclosed combustion ensures that all radiation, light, flame, and noise are imperceptible in sensitive areas. The FEF consists of the following components: flare burner, enclosed stack, combustion air system, control panel, and other optional items. Burner and Pilot The FEF Burner is the most advanced burner available in the industry today. Its design allows for high destruction efficiency and low emissions. The NOX and CO emission rates meet or exceed the requirements of most regulatory agencies (i.e., SCAQMD). This design allows for efficient combustion in either forced draft or natural draft configurations. Our compact, fuel efficient electronic pilot provides trouble-free, reliable ignition. Enclosed Stack The enclosed stack is built in modules to allow for ease of shipment and installation. It is insulated with 2 to 3 of high temperature refractory. The stack size is based on flow rate to ensure a minimum of 0.6 seconds residence time for reduced emissions. Combustion Air System The FEF can be designed to operate as either a natural draft or forced draft system. The natural draft system has the lowest operating costs and simplest design. In the natural draft system the air is controlled using a set of opposed blade air louvers that open or close as required to maintain a constant combustion chamber temperature. The forced draft system utilizes a blower assembly to provide the necessary air. This system is ideal where high winds may cause a reverse flow in a natural draft system, thereby extinguishing the flame. Control Panel The FEF control panel can be supplied in either a NEMA 4X or NEMA 7 enclosure. Temperature controls, safety systems, remote start / stop, and alarm contacts are standard items. A completely automated system is the design basis for our controls system.

SEMI ENCLOSED CANDLESTICK FLARE

ADVANTAGES
Reduced flare visibility Self-supporting stack Alloy steel flare burner Low pressure drop design Custom design to meet any application
DESCRIPTION The SEF Bio-Gas flare is an elevated flare (also referred to as the Candlestick flare) complete with a shroud to reduce flame visibility and improve thermal destruction efficiency. Flare Burner The SEF Burner is constructed from high temperature alloy steel to prevent corrosion or thermal degradation. A proprietary flame retention ring is used to provide the stable combustion required for efficient vapor destruction and a dynamic purge seal is included to reduce the chance of flashback caused by air entry into the flare. Flame Shroud The flame shroud used on the SEF has several purposes. The shroud is designed to prevent down drafts from extinguishing the flame. In addition, the shroud reduces the amount of visible flame seen on the flare and provides a chamber for more complete combustion. The amount of heat radiation produced by the flare is reduced allowing the stack height to decrease. Flare Riser The SEF is supplied with a self-supported flare riser, complete with base section, designed to be mounted on a concrete

UVI 550 PILOT MONITOR

ADVANTAGES
Instantaneous response time Ease of maintenance located at grade Durability not located in flame impingement zone Ultraviolet detection (not affected by the sun) Penetrates fog, rain, sleet, smog, or smoke
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The UVI 550 pilot monitor was designed and developed in order to satisfy several objectives: remote flame detection, reliability, durability, ease of maintenance, and rapid response time. The result is an extremely reliable, durable and inexpensive pilot monitoring device. The UVI 550 is used to detect the presence of a pilot flame at distances of up to 550 feet. If the UVI 550 detects the absence of flame or flame failure for an adjustable amount of time, a set of dry form C contacts are activated and the pilot re-ignition system is set into motion. The response time is much quicker than when using a standard thermocouple because the UVI 550 reacts instantaneously. A standard thermocouple goes into alarm only after it has cooled down below the set temperature of the thermocouple controller, whereas the UVI can immediately sense the loss of flame. The UVI 550 measures a specific narrow band of ultraviolet radiation that is common only to burning hydrocarbons. The sensitivity of the UVI 550 is such that it can detect radiation from an 8 inch flame at a distance of 500 feet. The ultraviolet wave length can be sensed through a veritable barrage of fog, rain, sleet, smog, or even smoke. The UVI 550 can be located at any position (full 360 degrees) relative to the flare stack since solar ultraviolet rays have no effect on the monitor. Most infrared detectors can not be positioned so that they face east or west due to false readings and interference from the sun. The UVI 550 is technologically superior to infrared pilot monitors as well as being less expensive. Another obvious advantage is ease of maintenance given that the UVI is located at grade.

ADVANTAGES Disentrains liquid droplets Prevents flaming rain Reduces flare smoke Recovers liquids
DESCRIPTION
Whenever a process requires that entrained droplets be removed From a vapor stream, Flare Industries includes a knockout drum in the system design. Condensation can occur when hot process gases cool considerably in the flare gas header and riser, and some gases also go to dew point at ambient temperatures and pressures and can therefore generate liquids. These droplets must be removed in order to avoid the phenomenon known as flaming rain, which occurs when liquid droplets are blown out the top of a flare stack along with ignited process gases. In order to avoid this hazard, Flare Industries provides the knockout drum. Designed to remove particles as small as 50 microns in size. The vessel can be outfitted with a wide variety of instrumentation. Flare Industries provides both horizontal and vertical configurations.

LIQUID SEAL
ADVANTAGES Prevents flashback (gas groups A-D) Prevents surging of gases Creates positive pressure in the flare header Disentrains liquid droplets
General Description
Purge systems are the perfect solution for preventing air infiltration in the flare stack and header system, however it is possible to lose purge gas supply. When purge gas is lost or interrupted, the flare system and plant can once again face the possibility of flashback and/or catastrophic explosion. The liquid seal drum is a specially designed vessel containing a predetermined level of water in the base of the drum. As the waste/process gas enters the drum through the flare system header, it is diverted down into the water and forced to bubble through the liquid seal. The gas then travels up through the flare stack and tip for combustion. The main purpose of the liquid seal drum is to stop flame propagation. By quenching the flame with a barrier of water, Flare Industries Liquid Seal design achieves this purpose as well as providing other intrinsic design advantages. Second, the liquid seal acts as a large check valve so that gas can not travel upstream for any reason. A third function of the liquid seal is to disentrain liquid droplets. Thus, the liquid seal drum provides flame arresting capabilities, acts as a check valve, and knocks liquids out of the waste gas. Liquid seals can be designed as a separate vessel or as an integral part of the flare riser structure.

DYNAMIC SEAL
General Description
Flashback prevention + low purge gas consumption + low cost = Flare Industries Dynamic Seal. It is a very simple equation. Flashback occurs when ambient air penetrates the flare stack and mixes with waste gas, creating a combustible mixture. The most common and most acceptable safety measure is to purge the system with a gas that does not contain oxygen and will not reach dew point at ambient conditions. Purge gas constantly flows through the flare header piping and flare stack insuring that air infiltration does not occur. Sweeping a stack with purge gas twenty four hours per day without a purge seal can result in exorbitant operating expenses over time. The Dynamic Seal is a simple innovation insuring reliable operation and significant cost savings year after year. The reverse conical baffle design reduces flow area in the flare tip while simultaneously increasing purge gas velocity. A vortex effect is created in the exiting purge gas which inspirates intruding air. This intruding air is drawn out of the boundary layer and into the exiting purge gas flow column, thus purging the flare tip. The Dynamic Seal can be used in horizontal as well as vertical applications due to the fact that it relies on fluid flow rather than gravity in order to operate properly. Since there are no moving parts, the Dynamic Seal virtually lasts forever. This Flare Industries technology offers several inherent cost and safety advantages. Also referred to as a velocity seal.
ADVANTAGES Prevents flashback Less purge gas required (94% less) Significant cost savings over time Extends flare tip working life by preventing burnback Lower capital costs Not affected by wind velocities, thermal contractions, or flow oscillations No moving parts (will not bind, wear out, or fail) Functions with wide range of gases (heavy and light) Extremely low pressure drop

General Description
Flashback. This phenomenon occurs when ambient air penetrates the flare stack and mixes with waste gas, creating a combustible mixture. An ignition source can then create an explosion inside the flare stack which could flashback through the flare header. This flashback, or flame propagation, can travel through the flare header piping and propagate back to the source, thus causing an industrial disaster. The Flare Industries Molecular Seal is used in conjunction with purge gas in order to avoid this unpleasant occurrence. The most common and most acceptable safety measure is to continuously purge the flare system with a gas that does not contain oxygen and will not reach dew point at ambient conditions (fuel gas and nitrogen are the most commonly used fluids). Purge gas constantly flows through the flare header piping and flare stack insuring that air infiltration does not take place. Sweeping a stack with purge gas twenty four hours per day without employing a purge gas seal can result in exorbitant operating expenses over time; especially for large diameter stacks. The Molecular Seal is a purge reduction device which allows the flare system operator to use 98% less purge gas while continually sweeping the system. The savings in daily purge gas consumption over the long run makes for a short payback period on the initial capital investment of the molecular seal. Also referred to as labyrinth or density seal.
