Examples of our Flare Systems - Elevated and Ground Systems

At the top of the Elevated System is the flare tip and pilot/ignitor system. The flare tip is sized according to the flow rate and is manufactured from 304 Stainless Steel. The larger diameter is the windshield which helps stabilise the flame. Located adjacent is the pilot/ignitor tip. This is made in 304 Stainless Steel and contains pilot windshield nozzle and air injector for achieving the correct gas air mix. A thermocouple is located inside the pilot to signal the control panel that the pilot is alight.

On the Ground Flare there are STANDARD and HIGH TEMPERATURE BURNERS

The standard burner is normally used on applications where flame retention time and temperature are not so critical. Typically on this type of burner size remains constant and the quantity increases depending on the gas flow rates.

The High Temperature burner is used for achieving a higher level of flame control and temperature. The flame is much shorter on this type of burner sitting just above the air ports. With this type of burner a temperature of 950 -1000°C can be expected without automatic air control. High temperature burners are generally becoming more widespread, and the material of the burner is 304 Stainless Steel.
