Tornado - Flare Systems
A flare stack refers to an elevated vertical stack used for burning off unusable waste gas in a variety of oil and gas production applications. Waste gases are either uneconomical to recover/retain, or released during planned or unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. Waste gases are released to the flare via piping (flare header) and burned as they exit the flare ...

Tornado - Pilot & Ignition Systems
Simply put – a pilot is continuous, it’s always on. The pilot flame serves to light the waste gas stream exiting the flare, or inside an incinerator, or any other combustion unit. You need to have an available fuel gas supply in order to install a continuous pilot. An ignitor (or ignition system) is an intermittent spark or flame front that is responsible for keeping the pilot lit. On systems where there is no on site fuel supply available, ...

Tornado - Purge Gas & Reduction Systems
Purge gas (or "purge flow") is required to prevent air impingement in the process header where there is little or no process flow going to the flare (as in the case of a dedicated intermittent or ESD flare). If air should enter the flare stack, a release of process gas could result in a combustible mixture present within the flare in a restricted zone. The ignition of this air/gas mixture can result in an explosion and cause severe equipment ...

Tornado - Model FKO - Fluid Knockouts Flare System
An FKO (fluid knockout) is a low-pressure separator used on a vent line to remove liquids from a waste gas stream prior to being flared or incinerated. This can prevent water from freezing in the flare stack riser or liquid carryover from being sprayed over immediate area (burning rain). Alberta – All combustion systems in Alberta require a fluid knockout as per AEUB Directive ...
