Description

API 537 Approved

Flare pilot with water accumulation evacuation where air pressure is available.

Positive air and gas pressure added to pilot enables evacuation of water that may accumulate in the pilot due to weather or steam being vented through the stack. A tube internally will evacuate condensation at the tip as well as the internal base of the pilot not allowing accumulation of the water which can cause damage and inaccurate readings in high condensation applications.

Benefits of a Pressurized Flare Pilot

• Micro Flame Front Ignition providing instantaneous positive ignition.
• Plasma Resonance Flame Detection providing instant and reliable pilot flame verification for unmanned ignition.
• Instantaneous start-up time. (Both pilot sections are pre-set for variations in vessel pressure)
• No additional operator adjustments are required
• Minimal and simple maintenance with less down time
• Simple installation and operator safety
• Air and gas pressure evacuates water accumulation from the weather and stream

Pressurized Flare Pilot Internal Functions

• Ignition of Primary Pilot – Ignition of the PFP is instantaneous with properly regulated air & gas. The pilot operation is unaffected by wet or humid conditions. As the air and gas pressure are added to the pilot, any water or condensation will be evacuated from the internals of the pilot. The Stackmatch 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 from external turbulence, this primary pilot flame remains extremely stable.
• Primary Pilot Flame Detection – Using our patented Plasma Resonance Flame Detection technology provides immediate ‘flame on’ or ‘flame off’ detection.
• Dual Thermocouples – Thermocouples can be added to the system when required by customer and add another means of flame detection.
• Stoichiometric Tracking – All internal orifices of the PFP are sized to automatically maintain and track the preset stoichiometric fuel ratios. Preset ratios will not change even during excessive violent turbulence.
• Electronics – Stackmatch control systems are designed to operate on voltages based on your power source including AC or DC and can be provided in either explosion proof or non-explosion proof configurations.
