Ignition Systems

The CONTINUUM Ignition System The CONTINUUM Ignition system is a continuous and automatic electronic spark ignition system, which provides reliable ignition without the requirement of fuel gas or electricity. The CONTINUUM Ignitor is also fully retractable for ease of maintenance and has internal monitoring as required by government regulations.

Model 250 ENERGEX High Energy Spark Pilot The Model 250 ENERGEX Pilot is a high alloy, stainless steel pilot which combines a high voltage electronic Excitor, an inconel sheathed dual thermocouple (optional), and a fuel gas line. The Model 250 Pilot provides rapid, reliable ignition and more importantly, instantaneous re-ignition if the pilot should ever lose its flame. This pilot system uses a fuel gas line much like other standard pilots, however, instead of a flame front generator it utilizes the "Excitor" which produces a high voltage spark directly in the pilot nozzle. This cutting edge innovation originated in the aerospace industry.

Model 245 Pilot and Flame Front Generator Ignition The Model 245 Pilot provides a constant flame source to ignite the flare system. The pilot burner is lit by a ground based flame front generator which ignites an air/gas mixture in an ignition line. The ignition of this air/gas mixture creates a "flame front" which travels from the Flame Front Generator to the pilot burner, thus igniting the pilot. This method of ignition is an effective, time proven technology which has been widely used in flaring applications for decades.

Model 255 Combination Pilot The Model 255 Pilot is a combination of our Model 245 and Model 250. The Model 255 Pilot can be ignited using a flame front generator and/or the Excitor (electronic sparking device). This pilot provides double security in case one ignition system should fail to light the pilot for any reason.

Model 270 RETRAX Pilot The RETRAX pilot has all the benefits and operational performance of the Model 250 ENERGEX pilot, with the added benefit that it is retractable. This allows the operator to perform any maintenance at grade level.

Flame Front Generator Flame front generator technology is an effective, time proven ignition system which has been widely used in flaring applications for decades. The inherent reliability, rugged construction, and ease of operation as well as its economic advantages have allowed the flame front generator (FFG) to remain one of the most popular forms of pilot ignition in the industry.

UVI-550 Pilot Monitor The Model UVI-550 Flare Pilot Monitor is capable of monitoring the proper operation of the Flare Pilot from a range of up to 550 feet (167 m). Ground level installation and superior reliability allow for ease of maintenance and a high degree of confidence.
