Flare equipment

Kinds of flare units

The company JSC MNGE manufactures the following kinds of flare units:

• UF – flares with one stack;
• UFS – combined units;
• UFSO – combined units with retractable stacks;
• UFOO – units with retractable tips;
• UGF-N and UGF-V – horizontal units used to burn low and high pressure gas;
• UGF-Zh – horizontal units for thermal disposal of industrial waste water;
• UGF-ZhU – horizontal units for smokeless disposal of well fluids;
• Mobile units on a skid or wheels;
• Closed flare systems.

Flare ignition system

• An operator opens the feed of fuel gas from the fuel gas pipeline or, if it is not available, from a gas cylinder unit, and checks pressure.
• Then he presses the “Start” button on the control cabinet and launches the program.
• After that power is supplied to the ignitor glow plug.
• In several seconds the ignitor valve opens, and the availability of gas pressure is checked.
• If there is flame on the ignitor, the operator shall open the gas flare line valve.

Flare tip

A flare tip of tubular type consists of a pilot burner, flame stabilizers, a gas damper and wind protection. The quality of burning for the discharged gases depends on the speed of their outlet from the flare tip and natural draft. Flame stabilizers located in the top part of the flare tip swirl the gas flow and increase the efficiency of its mixing with air. If natural draft is not enough for smokeless burning of gas, it is possible to use an air blower.

Pilot burner

The pilot burner consists of two elements: a body and a nozzle for fuel gas supply. This unit is installed in the flare tip, it is used to burn the discharged gas and ensure flame for the main flare. One of components of the pilot burner is an electrical glow plug. The charge coming from an ejector that is also located on the pilot burner is ignited. The pilot burner is additionally equipped with a thermocouple to ensure flame monitoring.

Control cabinet

Flare equipment for gas burning also includes control cabinets. They are necessary to ensure manual or automatic ignition of the pilot burner. This device monitors the flame of the pilot burner and gives signals to the operator in case of ignition system extinction or failure.

A control cabinet is an explosion-proof heated device installed behind a special guard. The device is connected to a conversion unit, a thermocouple and a gas control unit.

Standard scope of supply

A flare unit manufactured by JSC MNGE is supplied with the following components:
