What is a combustor oil and gas?

ASHCOR Standard Combustors are made of a stainless steel body and designed to withstand heavy wind, harsh oil and gas environments and other stringent conditions. Built to promote environment and site safety, ASHCOR Standard Combustors have distinct features such as minimal noise pollution and reduced radiant heat.

What is a vapor combustor?

Similar to a Thermal Oxidizer, a Vapor Combustor Unit (VCU), operates at high temperatures where the temperature is raised to the point that VOC chemical bonds are broken. Different than a Thermal Oxidizer, a VCU processes a vent stream that is not flammable until it reaches the inside of the VCU combustion chamber.

What is an enclosed combustor?

An enclosed flare is simply meant to hide the flame and does not make a particular effort to increase combustion efficiency or reduce emissions. Enclosed flares provide cooling and combustion air through natural draft.

What does a combustor do?

The important function of the combustor is to efficiently mix air with the fuel and burn it in a manner that provides a high stagnation temperature with small losses in stagnation pressure and low pollutant emissions.

What is a vapor recovery unit?

FET Vapor Recovery Units (VRU) aid in the removal and recovery of unwanted or excess vapors present in crude oil or distillate tanks. These units allow operators to comply with prevailing emission regulations while recovering valuable hydrocarbon gas.

What is an enclosed flare?

An Enclosed Flare (commonly called a Combustor) is an air pollution abatement technology specially configured to handle high VOC streams. The Enclosed Flare is typically designed to accommodate the high energy process discharge stream with excess air for combustion.

What is Stage 1 vapor recovery?

“What is Stage I Vapor Recovery?” Stage I Vapor Recovery is used during the refueling of gasoline storage tanks to reduce hydrocarbon emissions. Vapors in the tank, which are displaced by the incoming gasoline, are routed through a hose into the cargo tanker, instead of being vented to the atmosphere.

What is stage 2 vapor recovery?

Stage II vapor recovery is technology that prevents gasoline vapors from escaping into the air during refueling.

What is hand flare?

A hand flare is a small cylindrical stick which when activated, produces an intense red smoke or light without an explosion. Should be held out leeward when activated. Can be used by the day as well as night.

What is the difference between a flare and a thermal oxidizer?

A flare is designed for continuous, high concentration VOCs, where it can run in steady-state without any supplemental natural gas. A thermal oxidizer (TO) is designed to operate with some amount of supplemental natural gas, either for low concentration or non-continuous applications.

When to use an enclosed combustor in an oilfield?

Enclosed combustors “are typically used in applications where the variables, such as pressure, gas composition and flowrate are all known.” This produces a better destruction efficiency. There are two types of enclosed combustors – natural and mechanical draft.

Are there more combustors than flares in an oil field?

It is common to see more combustors than flares in states that are more stringent such as PA, WV, OH, and CO. In states that are more strict, you might only be allowed to have an open flare on production facilities in a few particular cases. Flares are typically associated with cases that you need to burn a high volume of gas.

Where are oil and gas combustion products manufactured?

All of the products we sell are developed and manufactured in North America with a strong emphasis on quality, safety, and the environment. Through decades of experience in the oil and gas combustion and environmental industry, we have been able to design and provide very unique solutions to some very difficult applications.

How are natural draft combustors used in the oil industry?

There are two primary ways in which you can get the air needed to combust the gasses- either through blowing air into the stack mechanically or by letting it occur naturally. Natural draft combustors are much more common in our industry due largely to economics.
