Flare Systems

SMART™ Air-Assisted Flare

The SMART™ flare is an economical design that utilizes an air tube delivery system similar to that used with steam/air tubes in steam-assisted flare tips. It is ideal for applications requiring moderate to high smokeless flow rates and is capable of burning without smoke.

Overview

A Cost-Effective Solution for Smokeless Flaring

The SMART air-assisted flare system has been developed for locations where steam is not available, offering a cost-effective solution for smokeless flaring. The system is particularly efficient in cold climates and is designed to handle a wide range of waste gas pressures. It features an air tube delivery system that optimizes the air-to-gas mixing process, ensuring efficient combustion and reduced soot formation, even with hydrocarbons prone to sooting. The SMART flare is recognized for its extended flare tip life and improved horsepower/efficiency for large air flows, accommodating moderate to very high smokeless flow rates.

Features

  • Air-Assisted Technology: Allows smokeless combustion when steam is unavailable.  
  • Versatile Performance: Capable of handling a wide range of waste gas pressures and smokeless flow rates.
  • Innovative Design: Optimizes air-to-gas mixing for efficient combustion and smokeless operation.
  • Extended Tip Life: The design ensures a longer life for the flare tip, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
  • Efficiency in Cold Climates: Noted for its performance in cold climates where steam assistance might be less effective.

Benefits

  • Smokeless Operation: Meets environmental regulations while being neighborhood friendly.
  • Flexibility: Adaptable to various operational needs due to its ability to handle a wide range of waste gas pressures and flow rates.
  • Maintenance Efficiency: Lower maintenance requirements and downtime due to the long-lasting design.
  • Environmental Compliance: Efficient combustion and reduced soot formation help facilities meet stringent emissions control standards.
