Flare System
is a system designed to safely dispose of unwanted or excess gases through combustion, commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical. This system helps reduce pollution by converting waste gases into carbon dioxide and water, which have a significantly lower environmental impact compared to direct emissions. Ensuring complete combustion with minimal emissions, noise, and visible smoke, the flare system is built to maintain safety, operational efficiency, and environmental compliance.
XP Flare Tip
is a new technology developed by John Zink designed to enhance the efficiency of flare systems. By reducing smoke and steam consumption, it promotes sustainable and environmentally friendly production. This innovative technology offers significant advantages, including:
• Up to 30% steam savings or
• 40% improvement in smokeless operation
(Compared to traditional systems using the same amount of steam)
Question : What are the Differences between the 1ˢᵗ and 2nd Generation XP Flares
Answer :
- 1ˢᵗ Generation XP Flare is equipped with a single steam line.
Provide world-class smokeless performance at high waste gas flow.
- 2ⁿᵈ Generation XP Flare is equipped with additional features Staged Steam Line and CSR Line that helps lower the steam consumption during purge and low flow flaring scenarios
Question : Are there any issues with the flame shape considering
the original flare has an upper part but the XP only has a lower part?
Answer :
“The flare design and especially the shear Mixing (A converging nozzle directs the waste stream to intersect the steam/air stream at a slight angle)
The flame shape benefit from the steam momentum, and the flame is “stiff” and not “lazy” even at relatively low flare gas rate.Therefore, there is no concern with flame shape even though no “upper steam” is used.”
Question : Is the pilot capable of re-igniting during rainy conditions?
Answer :
“Pilots should be able to re-ignite during heavy rain conditions. For example, JOHNZINK'S WindPROOF Pilot was designed and was verified stable under test conditions that exceeded 160 mph winds and 30 inches of rainfall per hour.”
