Zeeco’s UF series utility flare is ideal for onshore or offshore applications that do not require smokeless performance or where smokeless flaring can be managed without air or steam assist. Our UF flare series is one of the most in-demand flares of its kind for punishing conditions that include extreme temperatures, oxidizing environments, and high winds or heavy rain.
Proprietary flame stabilization technique.
Zeeco’s UF utility flares are engineered with a unique arrangement of proprietary flame stabilization tabs to ensure stable and high-efficiency flaring through the entire design range of flows–from maximum emergency flaring to purge gas flow rates. The flame stabilization tabs create a low-pressure zone at the perimeter of the flare tip gas exit point and work in conjunction with continuous pilots to ensure proper ignition of the waste gas. Zeeco’s flame stabilization tabs are unique, investment castings mounted to the flare barrel using plug welds, which eliminate stress risers and cracking associated with linear welding in high heat zones.
