Portable & hire flares

To meet temporary requirements, PREMA-SERVICE has had its own portable flare systems and combustion chambers since 1998, which can be hired complete with personnel and all necessary accessories. Typical applications for our systems include

• degassing of storage tanks before and during tank cleaning
• Degassing of pipelines following damage or prior to repair
• As a temporary replacement whilst VRU/exhaust gas recovery systems are out of service
• As a temporary replacement whilst high-level flares are being overhauled

Mobile hire flare systems can be adapted for gases in explosion groups IIA, IIB and IIC. Where required, rotary lobe blowers are provided, which can also handle extraction over long pipe runs of up to 200 metres. Through the use of special flame arresters and a combination of other components, our customers’ systems are reliably protected against damage caused by the extraction and combustion of the gases.

Among other things, light to medium-density gases from products such as ammonia, petrol, benzene, hydrocyanic acid, sewage gas, propylene and crude oil can be safely combusted. Even contaminated residual gases, whose concentration lies below the ignition limit, can be safely and with low emissions by special burner designs. The necessary quantities of support gas are minimised by electronic controls.

Mobile flare systems are available in various sizes, including as small and cost-effective containerised flares. The container flare takes up very little space and is therefore particularly suitable for plants or areas with narrow access routes. Furthermore, it is a self-contained flare system that uses a hydraulic mechanism to raise itself into position, meaning that no crane is required for installation.
