Aereon - Pressure Assisted Flares

The very high exit speed promotes large air entrainment and efficient turbulent mixing for complete-low radiating combustion. Sonic flares can be designed as single nozzle, multiple nozzles, with fixed or variable exit areas (variable slots) and equipped with spider burner(s) for flame anchoring and stabilization. Our Variable Mach (VariMach) sonic flare tip(s) has a spring-actuated variable sonic nozzle which allows the exit area to vary with pressure, ensuring constant sonic velocity of waste gas in a wide range of flows with beneficial effects on the smokeless combustion and the purge rate, which is the lowest of any flare technology on the market. For extended smokeless range at low flows, in the sub-sonic regimes, our Air Mach 1 sonic is the solution as it combines an air assist design with the sonic one.

• Tips equipped with proprietary stabilization tabs and rings for flame retaining and stabilization
• Purge reduction systems, dynamic or buoyancy seal
• Material selection as per specifications, in terms of material grade, properties and testing such as special alloys (UNS08811, UNS N0660), NACE, HIC and others
• Pilot burners are ISO 25457:2008 (API 537), self-inspirated and characterized by very low fuel consumptions and high reliability. Equipped with thermocouples or flame ionization rods with single or redundant ignition system. Built in stainless steel 310/316 with casted items
• Flame remote monitoring, smokeless control, retractability packages for thermocouples, pilot burners, aircraft warning lights (AWL), and many other turnkey solutions
