Elevated Flares

Air Assist Flares (Environ Series)

General

  • Provides smokeless combustion of heavy waste gas vapors
  • Often used when steam is unavailable for assist
  • Ground based blower(s) provide air assist
  • Annular design methodology creates a compact design
  • High velocity air creates a turbulent mixing zone for greater combustion efficiency
  • Air provides added benefit of cooling the flare tip to extend working life

Selection Criteria / Advantages

  • Smokeless flow rates of up to 100% of total waste gas flow
  • Extended tip longevity
  • Lower operating costs than comparable steam assist flares
  • Stable and reliable combustion
