GBA Flare Systems products

GBA offer a full range of ignition equipment to suit all requirements. We offer the well tried and tested Flame Front Generator (FFG) in both forced draft (uses compressed air) and natural draft (inspirates it`s own air) versions but increasingly we find that our modern state of the art CHT High Energy direct electric ignitors are finding favour with clients who want a simple to operate, reliable ignition system.

Where there is a need for smokeless combustion of low pressure, heavy waste gases but no steam is available then GBA Flare Systems CAF air assist flares can be used. CAF air assist flares use forced draft air to create turbulence and to supply the requisite primary air into the base of the flame thus achieving a clean, upright flame. For CAF air assist flares, the necessary air stream is provided by an electrically driven fan which is located at grade. Typically this would feature a two speed motor or inlet vane control in order to achieve a degree of turndown for day to day use. CAF air assist flares are designed to maximise the contact area between the gas and air streams to promote thorough mixing. This is done by passing the gas through thin vanes located within the air flow and additionally through the outer annulus formed around the tip by the concentric construction.

The GBA GCT series flare tip is a robust and flexible design that is routinely used on refinery and chemical plant duty. It`s principal means of steam injection is via the upper manifold. This uses a number of injector nozzles located on a manifold positioned around the tip circumference to inject steam at high pressure directly into the flame. This is supplemented by a centre steam nozzle located within the tip body. The GBA GCT flare tip provides a good all-round solution for most low pressure smokeless flare applications. The GCT incorporates several features that greatly enhance service life
