Stationary flare systems

Flare systems fitted with standard RE-type flare heads are used either when smoke-free combustion is not required or when the gas to be flared burns without producing smoke.

High-temperature-resistant steels, flame stabilisers and a special windshield ensure a stable flame across the entire operating range of the flare system and a long, maintenance-free service life.

The special design of the flame stabilisers ensures good gas-air mixing and low velocities at the pilot burners, thereby guaranteeing reliable ignition; purely electrical ignition via ignition rods is also possible. A built-in, maintenance-free (multi-stage where applicable) seal reduces purge gas consumption.

PREMA-SERVICE’s steam-assisted flares are used when heavy gases need to be burnt without producing smoke and medium- or high-pressure steam is available. Various types of flare heads with steam injection into the flame, both internally and externally, are available and are designed to suit the specific application. Our specialised design offers low steam consumption, low thermal radiation, reduced noise levels and a long service life.

If steam is not available in sufficient quantities or its use is not economically viable, smoke-free combustion of heavy gases can also be achieved using air-assisted flare heads. Air-assisted flares use blowers to generate additional combustion air, which is fed directly into the gas stream within the flare head, thereby achieving smoke-free combustion with a long service life.

For specialised applications (e.g. retrofitting existing flares to a smoke-free design), specialised air-assisted flare heads are available, enabling retrofitting with minimal downtime and low investment costs.
