Hydrogen DRAM
The Hydrogen "DRAM" is the only start-up solution for Sulfur Recovery Unit, Thermal Reactor, or Main Burner where hydrogen is a source of fuel. Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. provides efficiency and reliability under the toughest fired vessel applications in the industry; including refineries, petrochemical, chemical, natural gas processing plants and oil gas plants worldwide. The "DRAM" is the industries only advanced and proven method to start-up your unit. It can easily be retrofitted into most existing applications. Our advanced technology also provides increased safety while requiring less operator intervention and down time, lower fuel consumption, maintenance reduction and elimination of start-up delays.
Benefits of the Hydrogen DRAM
- Quick start-up time
- Both pilot sections are pre-set for variations in vessel pressure
- No additional operator adjustments are required
- Minimal maintenance down time
- Easier installation and safer for the operator than ever before
The Hydrogen "DRAM" pilot is a Forced Draft Gas Fired Pilot and ignition system designed to be operated in most extreme atmospheres. With the Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. trademark of reliable ignition, extreme flame stability & instantaneous flame detection, the Hydrogen "DRAM" has proven highly effective as the start-up solution for many Engineers.
The Hydrogen "DRAM" design consists of two parallel and independent Forced Draft Gas Fired Pilots offering a world of flexibility in product application. The pilot is custom sized to fit any main burner requirement and it can be constructed in a fixed or retractable configuration. The Hydrogen "DRAM’s" ability to be orifice sized from 180K BTU/HR, allows the DRAM to be used as the primary pilot source, and at the same time is effectively being employed as a "Pre-Heater" to prevent refractory damage during start-up. This pilot can also be used to generate vessel heat for positive flue pipe action. Ignition and start-up problem on your most difficult applications are now a thing of the past.
"DRAM" - INTERNAL FUNCTIONS
Ignition of Primary Pilot:
Unaffected by wet or humid conditions, and utilizing a multiple of technical advancement, ignition for the Hydrogen "DRAM" is instantaneous with air & gas properly regulated, our patented "Micro Flame Front Ignition" method coupled with Low Voltage-High Energy ignition generates a fireball within the pilot that travels forward to shower the primary nozzle with flame for assured nozzle ignition. Protected internally form external turbulence, this primary pilot flame remains extremely stable.
Stoichiometric Tracking:
All internal orifices of the Hydrogen "DRAM" are sized to automatically maintain and track the preset stoichiometric fuel ratios. Even during excessive vessel pressure swings and violent turbulence, the preset ratios will not change.
Secondary Pilot Flame:
Normally, the primary and secondary fuel sources are supplied by a single fuel supply system, thus on occasion the "DRAM" can be connected with a separate secondary fuel source.
Electronics:
Electronic pilot control packages are available in either explosion proof or non-explosion proof configurations. The control system can operate on 115 or 220 VAC 50/60Hz.
