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
- Upstream oil & gas production
- Midstream oil & gas
- Petroleum refining
- Chemical processing industry (CPI)
- Terminals – marine, rail, and truck loading facilities
- Designed to accept a wide range of waste gas pressures
- Slotted or drilled waste gas exit ports to achieve maximum air to fuel boundary
- High temperature rated materials in the heat affected area
- Includes velocity type purge seal to prevent flashback and minimize operating expense
- Multiple blower control options
