Pilot Operated Ignition Systems for Flare Stack & Burners

---

Flare ignition systems are used to ignite gas from pipe flares, air and steam-assisted flares, and ground flares. Thanks to reliable ignition and stable burning, pilot burners ensure the safe operation of the flare even under the most difficult climatic conditions. 

Flaring systems in an oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical plant or steel plant ensure the safe and efficient disposal of relieved gases. A flare is expected to operate twenty-four hours a day. The flare system must be in service for several years without a need for maintenance. Therefore, proper design and operation are extremely important. Ignition of the waste gases can be done by pilot burners (flame) or for some applications by ignition lances (spark). The ignition system must reliably ignite the waste gas of the flare. If the ignition system fails, unburned hydrocarbons and/or toxic gases could be released into the atmosphere.

Our pilot operated ignition system in which a gas/air mixture is introduced at ground level and flows up a one-inch line to the pilot burner. After filling this line with the mixture, it is ignited by a spark. The resulting flame travels to the top of the flare where the pilot burner is ignited.

IGNITION SYSTEM SPECIFICATION:

•  High energy ignition.
•  Ignition by three integrated spark plugs.
•  Long lifetime, longer maintenance intervals.
•  Insensitive to moisture and dirt.
•  Complete delivery; cables, junction boxes & ignition unit.
•  Easy fit cable connectors.
•  Self-aspirating or forced air supply.
•  Integrated and protected thermocouple.
•  Functionally tested to client specifications.
•  Construction completely out of high temperature-resistant stainless steel.
•  Pilot head and pilot body are exchangeable to eliminate regular replacement of the whole system. 

PILOT OPERATED IGNITION SYSTEM OPTION: 

•  Single Pilot for various heights of flare stack (Thermocouple option available), (Bent or Straight pilot head)
•  Double Pilot for various heights of flare stack (Thermocouple option available), (Bent or Straight pilot head)
•  Single Pilot for various designs of Buner used in well testing. 
•  Single, Double, triple, and quadruple Pilots for various designs of Buner used in well testing.
