Trailer Mounted Flare Stack Systems for Mobile Gas Combustion
Trailer Mounted Flare Systems are mobile, high-capacity flare units designed for safe and efficient combustion of excess gases in industrial applications such as oil and gas drilling, pipeline maintenance, or emergency venting. Our flare systems are mounted on a robust trailer platform that can be easily transported and deployed to remote or temporary sites, offering flexibility and rapid response capabilities. The Hero portabel systems consist of a flare stack, pilot ignition system, flame arrestors, and integrated control panels for safe and reliable operation. Built for durability, our trailer mounted flare systems are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions and rugged terrain, making them a practical solution for field operations where permanent flare systems are not feasible.
What Is a Portable Flare and How Does It Work?
A portable flare, also called a trailer-mounted or mobile flare, is a self-contained flare stack built on a trailer so it can be hauled to a site, set up, and burning waste gas in a short window, then moved to the next job.
It works like a permanent flare: gas is routed up the stack to a tip where a continuously burning pilot ignites it for safe, clean combustion. The difference is mobility. Because the stack, pilot, ignition, flame arrestors, and controls all travel together on one trailer, a portable flare needs no foundation and no permanent install, which is what makes it the practical choice for temporary, remote, or emergency work.
Tell us your site and gas data and we will confirm the right mobile flare.
Applications and Use Cases
Portable flares earn their keep anywhere you need to burn gas safely without a permanent stack. Common uses include:
Drilling and Well Testing
Flowback, completions, and flaring during well testing and production operations where temporary combustion is required.
Pipeline Maintenance
Blowdowns, tie-ins, and pigging operations that require safe combustion of released gas at a temporary site.
Plant Turnarounds
Shutdowns, commissioning, and short-duration plant operations where a portable flare provides rapid, compliant relief.
Tank Battery Vapor Control
Temporary vapor control and combustion during tank battery operations in remote or short-term field settings.
Emergency and Upset Venting
Rapid response when process conditions direct excess gas to a flare and no permanent unit is on site.
Remote and Short-Duration Sites
Locations where a permanent flare is not feasible, cost-effective, or justified for the project duration.
If your application is not listed, tell us the scenario and our engineers will confirm whether a portable flare fits. See our markets page for more.
Rent or Buy: Portable Flares In Stock and Ready to Deploy
Most portable flare work is time-sensitive, so Hero keeps trailer-mounted units in stock for fast turnaround. You can rent a portable flare for a short job like a turnaround or well test, or buy one outright for recurring field work.
Because each unit ships complete on its trailer with no foundation required, mobilization is quick: we prepare the unit, ship it, and support installation and commissioning at your site. If an outage or upset could send gas to a flare on short notice, ask us about a rental contingency plan so a unit is lined up before you need it.
See our rentals page or send your timeline and we will confirm current stock.
What’s Included in a Hero Portable Flare
Every Hero portable flare ships as a complete package on a rugged trailer, engineered for transport and quick deployment:
Flare Stack
Heights from 13 to 60 feet to match your dispersion, safety, and site space requirements.
Pilot and Ignition System
Reliable field lighting for safe and consistent operation in any conditions.
Flame Arrestors
For safe operation in all field conditions, protecting against flashback and unintended ignition.
Integrated Control Panel
For monitoring and control during operation, keeping the unit running safely and within spec.
Heavy-Duty Trailer
Built to withstand harsh weather and rugged terrain for reliable field deployment.
Smokeless tip options, including sonic tips, are available when your job requires a clean, smokeless flame. Send your flow and gas data and we will configure the unit.
ADVANTAGES of Portable Flares
Compliance and Destruction Efficiency
A portable flare still has to burn clean and stay legal. Hero portable flares are fully EPA compliant and proven to achieve 98% destruction efficiency, so your temporary or mobile flaring meets the same performance expectations as a permanent unit.
The pilot, ignition, and flame-arrestor package keeps combustion safe and reliable in field conditions. We can provide compliance wording and documentation for your project file. For more on the current rules, see our OOOOb/c overview, then contact us for the records you need.
