Extremely Low BTU Flare Tip

The Extremely Low BTU Flare Tip by John Zink ensures stable, smokeless combustion of low-BTU gases, enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions for a variety of industrial applications.

Overview

A Breakthrough in Flare Technology

John Zink’s Extremely Low BTU Flare Tip represents a breakthrough in flare technology, designed to provide stable and smokeless combustion for gases with low heating values. This innovative flare tip significantly improves upon existing low-BTU flare technologies, offering reliable performance even at heating values as low as 110 BTU/scf. Developed through extensive research and collaboration with PTTEP, the Extremely Low BTU Flare Tip integrates advanced design features to optimize combustion efficiency and minimize emissions.


Key components of this design include assist fire elements around the tip perimeter and spokes that penetrate the flare gas discharge, enhancing flame stability and ensuring complete combustion. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and prototype testing have validated the performance and mechanical integrity of the flare tip, demonstrating its ability to operate effectively in both brownfield and greenfield applications.


The Extremely Low BTU Flare Tip is ideal for offshore oil and gas production environments, where it maximizes reservoir recovery, optimizes capital and operational expenditures, and minimizes hydrocarbon flaring. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving valuable raw gas, this technology offers significant environmental and economic benefits.
