Low Flow Flares
No Pilot Gas Required
The HERO Low Flow Flare is specifically designed for low flow flare applications, or for those sites located in remote locations and do not have access to electric or pilot fuel gas.
The Low Flow Flare utilizes a battery/solar-powered direct spark ignition system. The direct spark ignition system produces a spark at the flare tip every three seconds regardless of if there is waste gas flow going to the flare or not. The continuous direct spark ignition source also includes a continuous ignition monitoring device that gives notification each time the ignition probe sparks to give the site personnel assurance an ignition source is present at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
The HERO Low Flow Flare is specifically designed for low flow flare applications or remote sites that do not have access to electric power or pilot fuel gas. It is ideal for tank vapors and remote wellheads with flows less than 250,000 SCFD. Share your flow rate and site type so we can confirm if a low flow flare is the right fit.
The HERO Low Flow Flare requires no pilot gas on site. It uses a battery/solar‑powered direct spark ignition system instead of a traditional pilot. If you don’t have pilot fuel available, we can show how this flare works in your application.
The Low Flow Flare uses a battery/solar‑powered direct spark ignition system that produces a spark at the flare tip every three seconds, whether or not waste gas is flowing. This provides a continuous ignition source for low flow applications. Tell us about your power limitations so we can confirm the ignition setup for your site.
The continuous direct spark ignition system includes a continuous ignition monitoring device that provides notification each time the ignition probe sparks. This gives site personnel assurance that an ignition source is present at all times. If you need clear ignition confirmation, we can explain how this monitoring will tie into your operations.
HERO Low Flow Flares are suited for any flare application less than 250,000 SCFD, and are described as ideal for tank vapors and remote wellheads. They are targeted at low flow and remote locations where utilities are limited. Share your application (tank battery, wellhead, etc.) and we can validate suitability.
