Forced Draft Pilots

Forced Draft Pilots cover many applications and can be retrofitted to meet your company’s needs. These pilots are equipped with our patented Micro Flame Front Ignition and we manufacture two sizes based on mounting requirements. They come with a retractable flange option which allows users to close the valve on a unit without completely removing the pilot precluding the escape of process gases. They can also be manufactured with a fixed flange if retraction is not required and can be made to operate on a variety of gases including natural gas, propane, and hydrogen.

DRAM (Dual Range Air Mixed) Pilots

The Stackmatch DRAM pilots are the only start-up solution for a Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU), and are used worldwide in pressurized vessel and flare applications such as Tail Gas Treatment Units (TGTU), boilers, pre-heaters, thermal oxidizers and crude unit burners.

Hydrogen DRAM

The Stackmatch Hydrogen DRAM pilot is the pilot necessary for gas compositions made primarily of hydrogen. Stackmatch has designed this pilot to run on hydrogen and air to start any burner application. With the same principals of the original DRAM, the Hydrogen DRAM runs as effortlessly and efficiently as any other Stackmatch pilot.

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.
