Offshore Flare Systems Webinar
Stop the Smoke
Most offshore work involves reinvigorating and extending the life of existing assets. To meet increasingly strict environmental regulations and promote cleaner energy production, many offshore facilities upgrade their existing smoking utility flares to provide smokeless flaring of hydrocarbon gases. In many cases, common smokeless flaring technologies have not been accessible to the offshore industry for technical or budgetary reasons.
Zeeco has solutions to retrofit smoking pipe flares economically and efficiently while minimizing the shutdown time involved.
Flare Tip Retrofits
Zeeco offers replacement engineered flare tips for all major combustion manufacturer’s equipment. Our Aftermarket department is experienced in the installation of new flare tips on existing stacks using only flange connections - no welding required.
Zeeco can offer reliable and effective solutions for your flare related problems.
UFHPAA – High Pressure Air Assist Flare Tip
The UFHPAA flare tip uses supersonic air injection nozzles to inspire combustion air at a much higher efficiency than previous air assisted smokeless flaring technology. The combustion air produces smokeless flaring and prevents flame impingement at low firing rates, ultimately extending the life of the tip. Compressed air can be provided to the system through the existing plant air supply or from a dedicated air compressor.
VariJet (Variable Jet) Flare Tip
Zeeco VariJet flare tips are high-pressure tips that use the energy inherent in the flare gas stream to improve smokeless performance. To enhance the tip’s operation with high exit velocities and superior mixing that results from high gas-to-air surface area ratios, each arm of the VariJet tip incorporates a self-actuated variable exit area assembly.
This assembly opens as necessary relative to internal pressure to ensure operation at sonic exit velocities over a wide range of flow rates. By operating at high exit velocity, the flare does not require any additional assist media to operate smokelessly, even at low flow rates. Through utilization of the VariJet’s varying exit area, purge gas requirements are the lowest of any flare type.
