Steam assisted smokeless flares

This is our series FHP steam assisted smokeless flare tip,

with external Flarestream steam injection nozzles arranged
on an external ring.
This type of flare tip is designed for typical refinery use,
where very high efficiency, high smokeless capacity, and
very low noise is not a specific design requirement.

smokeless flare tip during fabrication. This style of
flare tip uses a totally different type of steam injection.
Floanda (internal coanda) nozzles are located in a
cone at the top section of the tip. The steam entrains a
large quantity of air though the Floanda nozzle (about
4:1 weight ratio) and the air, steam and waste gas are
mixed in the upper cone before being ignited by the
pilots. This tip is more efficient in steam usage as a
result of the air entrainment and pre-mixing, and can
be designed for much higher smokeless capacities
than other types of flare tip. The Floanda injector is
also extremely quiet, and typically the noise level from
the FS tip is about 12-14 dB (A) less than a typical
external type steam injection flare tip.

demanding service required for olefins and other chemical plants where smokeless flaring of unsaturated
hydrocarbons is frequently required
