Flare Systems
Light the flare and keep the pilots burning, measure and analyse the gas going to the flare, and keep liquids and flames out of the flare line, on refinery and petrochemical flares.
Measures: Flare ignition · Pilot flame monitoring · Flare gas flow · Gas composition · Knock-out drum level · Flame arresting
Flare Ignition & Pilot Burners
High energy igniters light the pilot burners right at the flare tip, and the control box relights them automatically if the flame is lost. Thermocouples on the pilot prove the flame, and the TG40 pilot can also be connected to an existing flame front generator (FFG) as a back-up.
High Energy Flare Ignition SystemComplete high energy ignition package for ground and elevated flares: re-ignition control box, ignition module, armoured cable and pilot torch with flame detection.
TG40 High Energy Flare Pilot Torch with FFGFlare tip pilot burner with high energy igniter, redundant thermocouple flame detection and Flame Front Generator (FFG) connection.
Automatic Re-Ignition Control BoxFlare ignition control panel with automatic re-ignition loop, flame-presence feedback and manual override, in an Ex d or safe-area IP66 enclosure.
XEC03H High Energy Ignition ModuleResin-filled 18 J ignition module for flare control panels, delivering a strong spark over power cable runs of up to 500 m.
High Energy & High Temperature Ignition CablesArmoured ignition cables: CAR 2/560 and HNOK 6000 high energy cables (ATEX-suitable) and RV 2.5 high temperature cable rated to 400 °C continuous.
Flare & Pilot Flame Monitoring
Fixed thermal imagers watch the flare and the pilot flames day and night and in rain or fog, giving operators a second check alongside the pilot thermocouples.
Flare Gas Flow
Thermal mass flow meters measure the gas sent to the flare over a wide range, from low purge flows to large releases, with almost no pressure drop.
ST100A Flow MeterFCI ST100A thermal mass flow meter for process gases, with 4-20 mA, pulse, HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, PROFIBUS or Modbus outputs.
ST80 Flow MeterFCI ST80 thermal mass flow meter for industrial air and gas, with a wide choice of sensors (including wet gas) and process connections.
MT100 Flow MeterFCI MT100 multipoint insertion thermal flow meter with up to eight sensing points, for air and gas flow in stacks, flues and large ducts with short straight runs.
Flare Gas Analysis
In-situ TDLAS laser analysers measure gas composition across the pipe or stack in seconds, without taking a sample. A typical use is watching for oxygen getting into the flare header.
Knock-Out Drum Level
Guided wave radar transmitters measure the liquid in the knock-out drum, a horizontal separation vessel, so liquid is not carried to the flare tip.
Flame Arresters & Relief Devices
Flame arresters stop a flame travelling back along vent and flare lines. Buckling pin relief valves are used in flare installations built to API 537.
Flame ArrestersBS&B FlameSaf flame arresters: vent, endurance-burning, end-of-line deflagration and in-line models that stop a flame passing through tank vents and process lines.
Buckling Pin Relief ValveBS&B BPRV in-line buckling pin relief valve, 2 to 60 in, for high flow capacity; after it opens, the pin is replaced with the valve still bolted in the line.
