Non-Assisted Flare
A non-assisted flare is a combustion device used to safely burn off excess hydrocarbons without external air or steam injection. Instead, it relies solely on the pressure and velocity of the vented gases for mixing with atmospheric oxygen to sustain combustion. These are widely used in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and natural gas facilities where gas flow rates and composition allow stable burning without smoke suppression assistance
Key Features of a Portable Gas Flare:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Simplicity | No need for auxiliary systems like steam or air blowers. |
| Flame Stability | Designed flare tip ensures continuous burning of hydrocarbons. |
| Reliability | Equipped with pilots and ignition systems to ensure consistent flame. |
| Low Maintenance | Fewer moving parts compared to assisted flares. |
| Cost-Effective | Lower CAPEX & OPEX due to absence of assist systems. |
