AIR BLOWN FLARES

Forced air type smokeless flare tips FAB series.

The FAB series flare is used for smokeless combusion applications, where the use of steam is not desired. Smokeless combusion can be obtained even with heavy unsaturated hydrocarbons gases.

There are two modes of air supply; the first is a co-exial supply of air with the main gas riser centrally positioned. The second is an outside seperate air riser alongside the main gas riser. The gas is distributed in the tip to a series of vanes with characterised slots for even gas spread into the air stream.

The air is directed from the tip with a swirling action at high velocity and, with the even gas spread and turbulent air mixing at the tip outlet, efficient combustion is achieved. Secondary air is entrained by the turbulent discharge from the tip.

The Swirling action of the flame produces a well formed flame with low luminosity, unaffected by wind and producing minimum downward radiation. This is achieved by supplying up to 50% of stoichiometric air from the low pressure fan.


DESIGN ADVANTAGES
  • Low operation costs.
  • No steam required.
  • 100% smokeless combusion.
  • Non-luminous, low noise combusion.
  • Two stage air blower to minimise running cost.
  • Low pressure air for smoke suppression.
  • Simple control system for normal/ maximum operation.
  • Low gas consumption pilots.
