Air-Assisted Flares Wide Range Of Operation, Low Noise & Long Service Life Plants that require smokeless flares where steam is not preferred use our cost-effective, state-of-the-art, air-assisted flare systems. Our long-lasting flares use a range of innovative techniques to optimize air-to-gas mixing and eliminate steam-energy costs. These innovative designs are used to optimize flaring performance from small, simple applications to large, complex designs and everything in between. Air-assisted flares can be used as a first-stage flare in multi-flare arrays designed to meet high capacity needs. AZDAIR The AZDAIR™ air-assisted flare delivers safe, smokeless operation in virtually all conditions—from maximum to minimum purge flow—without steam or support fuels. An efficient mixing design maximizes the system’s gas-to-air interface. providing maximum smokeless capacity Our air-assisted flares deliver effective smokeless performance while eliminating steam-energy costs. That’s smart. That’s JZHC. with minimal air blower requirements. A significant difference between the AZDAIR and conventional air-assisted flares is the design of the gas riser. Conventional flare designs utilize an internal gas riser that runs concentric to the outer air riser in the flare stack. This can have several unintended consequences including: + Difficult lifting/welding procedures for installation + Flare gas condensation in the air-cooled internal gas riser can lead Mixing Zone to burning rain and smoke + In cold or hot service, the gas riser can contract or expand, leading Detail of Mixing Head to ineffective ignition of the flare gas with the pilots The AZDAIR flare utilizes an external gas riser to eliminate these problems. This simplifies installation of the flare stack and provides for more reliable ignition and smoke control. It also allows for a design that eliminates the U-tube/siphoning effect that can cause internal burning and premature tip failure in some conventional designs that utilize internal gas risers. Design of the AZDAIR air/gas-mixing interface optimizes smokeless per

SMART The SMART™ flare is an economical design that utilizes an air tube delivery system similar to that used with steam/ air tubes in steam-assisted flare tips. The SMART flare is ideal for applications requiring moderate to high smokeless capacities and gases that are difficult to burn without smoke. AMBIENT AIR SMART FLARE FAB The JZHC FAB air-assisted flare tip is designed to provide smokeless flare gas burning in the most severe environments while ensuring proper interaction and mixing between flared gas and air. The exclusive slot design promotes gas swirling to improve mixing and...

LHLB The LHLB™ air-assisted flare system extends flare tip life while minimizing the cost to dispose of difficult-to-burn gases. The LHLB flare’s annular swirl design mitigates the internal burning associated with the operation of large air-assisted flares at turndown while providing reliable ignition of waste gases at high exit velocities. LHLB The annular design of the LHLB flare prevents internal burning at low gas flow rates. LHTS, LS The economical LHTS™ and LS™ flare designs meet low-to-moderate smokeless requirements for low-pressure flare systems while still enabling large emergency...
