With rising costs for field installation and demanding project windows, Prism guarantees an extra emphasis on customer support, standing beside you every step of the way for the many years to come.

Why Flare Stacks?

A flare is used in a refinery or petrochemical facility to combust relieved waste gases safely and efficiently. The flare is often portrayed as the end of line device and plays an extremely important operating role in an emergency such as a power failure or fire. The critical nature of a flare stack requires the design to operate 24-hours a day, for months on end without disruption. Each flaring scenario needs to be fully and accurately investigated to ensure all potential variables are considered and accounted for to combust waste gases as safely and efficiently as possible.

Prism Flare Stacks

It’s all in the details.

With several types and arrangements of flare stacks available, one size does not fit all. Pairing the distinctive molecular composition of waste gases with the limitations on smokeless flaring, noise levels, and radiant heat production, different approaches must be utilized to ensure proper combustion within a flare stack. From new flare sizing to retrofits to existing equipment, consultation services, preventative maintenance, service, installation, and commissioning, Prism’s dedicated and knowledgeable Combustion Engineers deliver tailored solutions to fulfill your projects unique requirements.

Prism Smokeless Flare Tips

As an elevated design innovation, Prism’s Smokeless Flare Tip assemblies convert a smoking stack to smokeless. The principal workings of the units utilize force to mix oxygen with the flare gas, thus enhancing the burning efficiency of the hydrocarbon molecules. Our air assist flare packages can be adapted to existing stacks in the field or to custom built for new products being manufactured.

Other methods of achieving smokeless flaring

Compliance.

As per API 537, the 3 main goals of the flare stacks are as follows:

01

Reduce ground level concentrations of hazardous materials

02

Provide the safe disposal of flammable materials

03

Reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) and hydro-carbon emissions

  • Prism has developed the Vapor Tight Pressure/Vacuum Thief Hatch to address fugitive emissions for the new millennium. Releases of toxic vapors into the atmosphere are unacceptable and wrong. Prism’s vapor recovery unit offers superior sealing ability, is built to last, and has good local service and support to make repairs quickly if necessary.

  • The Prism Vapor Tight Thief Hatch will address the vapor recovery issues of your flare stack. Our Counter Force Pressure Suspended Seal Assembly works by inflating as the pressure rises in the tank. As it inflates, it creates an even tighter air purge seal. A choice of body materials such as aluminum, coated carbon steel, and stainless steel are available to choose from. Carbon steel and stainless-steel construction ensure long life and durability. Prism has local manufacturing facilities and pursues combustion engineering challenges aimed squarely at Alberta’s harsh climate and conditions.

ESD Knockout Drums (ESD KO’S)

Prism has designed and tested our ESD Knockout Drums to prevent the flooding of flare stacks which may result in environmental spills, grass or crop fires or equipment damage.

This atmospheric pressure rated system serves acts as a fluid knockout for the flare stack and an Emergency Shut Down to shut production in if the accumulated fluid level in the knockout drum rises past a set level. As the fluid accumulates in the drum, it lifts the internal float arm which rotates the external indicator that triggers a limit switch, which in turn closes the inlet line to the separator. This ensures that if the separator floods, it would shut down the inlet flow from the wellhead, thus preventing a stack flood. Also, if accumulated fluid builds up in the knockout, it will shut down the inlet valve.
