OFFSHORE FLARES - Low Radiation

Sonic Flare Burners -- PASSIVE SMOKELESS FLARE
No Smoke & No Utilities
NAO SONIC FLARES:
1.) Jet Mix™ -- NJM™ (NAO Jet Mix™)
and NMJM™ (NAO Multi Jet Mix™)
2.) Hot Dog Tips™ -- NMEC™ (NAO Multi External Coanda™)
Types of flare burners with large
gas/air
interface (shear area) for high
air entrainment to produce clean, smokeless
combustion.
PASSIVE OPERATION -- passive flare -- (i.e. no air blower, no water
spray,
no steam
and no injection of gas)
along with much reduced radiation levels
due to lower free carbon
(black body
radiators -- 80% of radiant heat)
in the
flare flames, i.e. clearer, cleaner flames -- blue, clear, light yellow.
For flare flows requiring very high turndown (maximum to
normal to minimum flows)
then a staging system and control can be used.
For flare flows and low header pressures (such as LP or
Atmospheric Flares)
that require smokeless / low thermal radiation -- then air assisted flares can
be provided. Water spray flares are also used but can lead to corrosion
problems.
NAO Air Blower FLARES:
Air Assist™ -- NFF-AA™ (NAO
Fluidic Flare - Air Assist™).
Forced Air Vortex™ -- NFAV™ (NAO Forced Air Vortex™)
Another form of NAO Air Assist Flare is the NAO Hybrid
Flare™ which
uses AIR ASSIST at low rates for smokeless and SONIC at high flows.
Hybrid Flare™ -- NMEC-AA™ (NAO
Multi External Coanda - Air Assist™)
NMJM-AA™ (NAO Multi Jet Mix - Air Assist™)
Combination Flares using the sonic tip designs along with
air assist have
also been used for offshore and onshore applications.
