Gas-Assisted
When steam or electric is not available on-site, our high pressure gas-assisted smokeless technologies are viable options to achieve smokeless capacity. This technology can also be used to retrofit an existing flare stack that is experiencing smoke formation and outside of the environmental compliance regulations
Shown are pictures of an application where gas plant began to handle heavier feed gas, causing their flare to smoke. HERO Process Solutions retrofitted an existing flare stack with a new high pressure gas-assisted flare tip to achieve 100% smokeless performance.
Typical Applications
High Pressure Gas or Air Assist flares are a low-cost solution to comply with EPA standards 40 CFR 60.18 Method 22 to achieve smokeless compliance as well as ensure the surrounding community is put at ease with a clean burning flame. Typical applications for this flare include:
Specific Features & Benefits
High Stability Flare Tip – These flare tips are suitable for all hydrocarbon vapors. Stainless steel construction ensures a long tip life.
Meets EPA Regulations – Meets EPA and state regulations. We guarantee 98% or better hydrocarbon destruction efficiency. Often, this retrofit does not require a new permit application.
Easy to Retrofit – The new tip is custom designed to fit the existing flare stack connections. “Lift and bolt” is our installation goal
New Pilot Ignition System – While we can reuse existing pilots and ignition systems, most retrofit projects include spark ignited pilots and control panels. Shop tested to work the first time. Why not solve two problems at once?
Engineering Assistance – Use our engineering staff for specialized technical assistance on flare design and operation. Structural calculations, API datasheets, and thermal radiation profiles are available.
