More than just a combustion unit; a process safety system.
An industrial flare is much more than a combustion unit: it is a safety system designed to protect people, equipment and facilities when a plant needs to release, depressurise or manage combustible gases that cannot be discharged directly into the atmosphere.
At PREMATECNICA, we help process and energy industries to define, design and implement flare systems tailored to the real conditions of each plant
Our solutions enable relief, purging, venting and surplus gas to be managed safely, efficiently and reliably.
Our flares systems are used in:
An elevated flare burns gas at height and is usually used for large-scale flaring with a visible flame. A ground-level or enclosed flare is designed to reduce radiation, visual impact and, in many cases, to keep the flame hidden, making it suitable where there are site or environmental restrictions.
A flare removes gas through controlled combustion, and is therefore used when the gas is flammable and needs to be disposed of safely and immediately. A cold vent releases the gas without a flame or combustion, and is only used when the nature of the gas and the risk assessment allow for its safe dispersal into the atmosphere.
It is a flare designed to operate with minimal visible smoke, either through the design of the burner or with the aid of steam, air or gas.
It may go out due to problems with the gas-air mixture, variations in fuel, severe weather conditions or degradation caused by radiation and temperature. At PREMATECNICA, we supply reliable, high-quality pilot burners to minimise the risks associated with the accidental extinguishing of a pilot burner.
