Burner Flare Component for Burner Equipment

The Burner Flare Component for Burner Equipment is a critical engineered solution designed to optimize combustion efficiency and safety in industrial burner systems. Crafted from high-temperature-resistant alloys such as 310S (UNS S31000), Inconel 600 (UNS N06600), or custom superalloys, these components undergo precision forging and thermal treatment to withstand extreme temperatures (up to 1,300°C/2,372°F) and corrosive combustion byproducts. The design integrates aerodynamic profiles and flame-stabilizing geometries to ensure stable ignition, reduced NOx emissions, and resistance to thermal fatigue in continuous operation.

Manufactured to meet international standards like ASME BPVC Section VIII and API 560, these flare components feature seamless welds and uniform wall thickness to prevent gas leakage. They are available in configurations such as cylindrical flares, conical diffusers, and multi-port burners, tailored to diverse fuel types including natural gas, biogas, and syngas.

The holes are designed to distribute fuel evenly, ensuring a stable flame and preventing localized overheating or incomplete combustion.

Extreme Thermal Resilience: High chromium (24-26%) and nickel (19-22%) content in 310S alloy provides superior oxidation resistance, while Inconel variants offer enhanced carburization resistance in reducing atmospheres, extending service life by 25% in harsh combustion environments.

Flame Stabilization Technology: Proprietary vane designs and bluff-body structures create recirculation zones to anchor flames, minimizing flashback risks and improving combustion stability across wide turndown ratios (10:1 typical).

Emission Control Optimization: CFD-optimized flow passages reduce turbulence, enabling compliance with strict emissions standards (e.g., EPA NSPS, EU MCPD) by promoting complete fuel-air mixing and reducing unburned hydrocarbons.

Modular Design for Easy Integration: Bolted or welded connections facilitate quick replacement in existing burner systems, with optional thermal barrier coatings (TBC) on external surfaces to reduce heat loss and protect adjacent components.

Its main function is to mix and burn the fuel (e.g.,gas or liquid) with air through small, evenly distributed holes to achieve efficient and stable combustion.

Burner components are common parts of combustion equipment, widely used in industrial burners, boilers, heating furnaces, heat treatment equipment and other fields.

Industrial Heating Systems: Used in furnaces for steel annealing, glass tempering, and cement calcination, where consistent high-temperature performance ensures process uniformity.

Power Generation: Integral to gas turbine combustors and waste heat recovery units, handling high-pressure fuel gases and resisting thermal cycling during load fluctuations.

Petrochemical & Refining: Deployed in flare stacks and thermal oxidizers to safely combust volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), with Inconel components enduring sulfur-rich corrosive environments.

Marine Propulsion: Installed in marine diesel burners for cargo vessel heating systems, offering saltwater corrosion resistance and reliable ignition in humid, high-vibration environments.

Q: What fuel types are compatible with these flare components?

A: They support natural gas, LPG, biogas, syngas, and liquid fuels like diesel and heavy oil, with material selection adjusted for sulfur content and combustion byproducts.

Q: Can the components be coated to reduce coking?

A: Yes—silicon carbide (SiC) or aluminum-rich coatings are available to minimize coke deposition on internal surfaces, reducing maintenance frequency in dirty fuel applications.

Q: What is the typical pressure rating for burner flare nozzles?

A: Standard designs handle 1-10 bar (14-145 PSI); high-pressure variants (up to 50 bar/725 PSI) are available for gas turbine premix burners, validated via hydrostatic testing.
