Air-Assisted Flares
Cleaner Combustion for Changing Operating Conditions
Air-assisted flares use controlled combustion air to improve combustion performance in applications with variable gas composition, low heating value gas, heavier hydrocarbons, upset conditions, slug flow, or rapidly changing flow rates.
Onit Energy Solutions designs, builds, services, and upgrades air-assisted flare systems for oil and gas operators throughout West Texas, the Permian Basin, and Southeast New Mexico.
Every system is engineered to deliver dependable performance in demanding field environments.
Built for Cleaner, More Efficient Combustion
Not every flare application can rely on natural air entrainment alone.
As gas composition and flow rates change, combustion can become less efficient, leading to visible smoke, flame instability, and reduced performance. Air-assisted flare systems introduce controlled air at the flare tip, improving fuel-to-air mixing and supporting a cleaner, more stable flame.
Our air-assisted flare capabilities include
- New air-assisted flare manufacturing
- Custom flare sizing
- Air blower integration
- Controlled combustion air at the flare tip
- Support for upset events and slug flow conditions
- Flare tip replacement
- Pilot and ignition support
- Burner management system integration
- Service and repair
- Preventive maintenance
- Retrofits and upgrades
Technical Specifications Available
Onit provides flare specifications and sizing support based on anticipated flow, turndown requirements, gas quality, regulatory constraints, and site conditions. Final tip selection and sizing are confirmed by Onit Energy Solutions before fabrication.
Supporting Federal Safety and Compliance Regulations
Clean combustion plays an important role in emissions compliance.
Onit evaluates each application to ensure the flare system delivers proper airflow, combustion efficiency, exit velocity, and overall performance. Our goal is to help operators minimize visible emissions while maintaining safe, reliable flare operation.
