Abstract:In the oil extraction industry, igniting the flare stacks is an essential operation. Oil sites have two kinds of flares, ground flares and flares that installed on towers. The ignition systems generate electrical sparks to burn the gases blowing out of the flares. Due to the permanent high operating temperature and the need for special thermal isolation, classical igniters have low reliability and high cost. In this work, two novel ignition systems have been implemented, the first is the robotic ignition syste… Show more
