BPSF (Brine Pit Spitfire)

Category: Flare Pilots

The “BPSF“ or “Brine Pit Spitfire“ flare pilot is a pilot designed for a saltwater contaminated atmosphere where a normal self-aspirated pilot would certainly fail. The “BPSF“ flare pilot uses a “Hybrid Purge” air-aspirating system which utilizes clean compressed air to feed the pilot when salt and othercontaminants are present.

Description

The “BPSF“ or “Brine Pit Spitfire“ flare pilot is a pilot designed for a saltwater contaminated atmosphere where a normal self-aspirated pilot would certainly fail. The “BPSF“ flare pilot uses a “Hybrid Purge” air-aspirating system which utilizes clean compressed air to feed the pilot when salt and other contaminants are present. Our “BPSF“ flare pilot is not a pressurized pilot, but by adding compressed air to the “Hybrid Purge” canister it allows the air/gas mixing chamber of the pilot to self-aspirate and burn properly in the most extreme and contaminated conditions. The “BPSF“ pilot does require a clean compressed air source or will eventually fail if the pilots self- aspirating air supply is contaminated. Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. has designed a state of the art pit flare pilot that has been proven effective in the most adverse and contaminated conditions where a pit flare is needed.

“BPSF” or “Brine Pit Spitfire” flare pilot is available in a customer specified length and comes standard with Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. patented “Micro Flame Front Ignition“ and “Plasma Resonance Flame Detection“which can also include a thermowell and thermocouple if required.

This pilot was designed with high temperatures and adverse environments in mind which is why we upgraded this pilot with a thick walled open throat nozzle to add even more life to the “BPSF” flare pilot. The internal nozzle cavity was engineered to provide a firmly rooted and highly protected flame configuration thus allowing proven pilot flame stability even when subjected to the most extreme weather elements.

Our Patented Technologies

Flame Detection

Plasma Resonance is a Stackmatch Patented method of flame detection specifically designed for instantaneous pilot flame recognition and when unavoidable, to fail in the fail safe condition.

Micro Flame Front Ignition

Stackmatch Pilots operate with our patented Micro Flame Front Ignition technology that is built with an ignition tube located inside the pilot body. This tube is allowed to fill with the same volatile fuel normally processed through the pilot body.

Cool Tip

With top and bottom diversion plates, it’s designed to allow the spent nozzle gas to continuously clean the pilot nozzle. As the spent gas escapes to atmosphere, this downward jetting action further protects the nozzle cavity from contamination.
