Landfill & Biogas

ZEF™ Elevated Flare

The ZEF™ Elevated Flare provides a cost-effective solution for the destruction of biogas, ensuring environmental compliance with high operational efficiency.

Overview

Flexible, Efficient Flares for Biogas and RNG

Our ZEF™ Elevated Flare is engineered specifically for the biogas industry, seamlessly integrating into landfilll, digestor, or renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities. These flares are designed to handle landfill gas, raw biogas, off-spec RNG, or a combination of gas streams. With a greater than 20:1 instantaneous turndown ratio, they offer flexibility and efficiency without requiring manual adjustments. 


ZEF™ flares are available in a unique skid-mounted ZNIX hydraulic design, eliminating the need for cranes during start-up and maintenance, which reduces operational costs and simplifies installation. Adhering to EPA 40 CFR 60.18 criteria, the ZEF™ flares provide a reliable and environmentally compliant method for eliminating methane and other volatile organic compounds emitted during biological decomposition processes.


Features

  • ZNIX Hydraulic Design: Skid-mounted design eliminates the need for cranes, simplifying installation and maintenance.
  • High Turndown Ratio: Achieves a greater than 20:1 turndown ratio, accommodating varying flow rates without manual adjustments.
  • Energy Efficient Pilot (EEP): Equipped with the EEP-502 ZEUS pilot for improved ignition reliability.
  • High-Quality Burners: Fabricated in-house for tight quality control and quick access to spare or replacement burners.
