Horizontal flare units
Horizontal flare units (HFU) with remote ignition and control means are designed for burning gases, vapors and liquids during emergency, permanent and periodic discharges at oil, gas and water field treatment facilities of oil and gas fields, chemical, petrochemical and oil refining industries.
Горизонтальные факельные установки разрабатываются и изготавливаются по ТУ 3667-038-56562997-2012.
Characteristics
Climatic version UHL1 with air temperature during operation from minus 60 °С to plus 50 °С.
Depending on the purpose, horizontal flare installations for burning gases and vapors are divided into the following types:
- HFU-B - horizontal flare unit for combustion of gases, purge gases from wells of gas fields, waste gases from wells during plume purge;
- HFU-H - horizontal flare unit for burning gas effluents from safety valves.
- HFU-L – horizontal flare unit for thermal disposal of industrial wastewater (by evaporation of liquid in the flare with simultaneous combustion of organic and harmful substances);
- HFU-LH - horizontal flare unit for burning liquid hydrocarbons.
- HFU-B - horizontal flare unit for combustion of gases, purge gases from wells of gas fields, waste gases from wells during plume purge;
- HFU-H - horizontal flare unit for burning gas effluents from safety valves.
- HFU-L – horizontal flare unit for thermal disposal of industrial wastewater (by evaporation of liquid in the flare with simultaneous combustion of organic and harmful substances);
- HFU-LH - horizontal flare unit for burning liquid hydrocarbons.
