VOPT Flares
Variable Orifice Pressure Tip Flares for Cleaner Combustion
VOPT flares help oil and gas operators manage changing gas flow conditions while supporting cleaner, more reliable combustion.
Onit Energy Solutions designs, builds, services, and upgrades variable orifice pressure tip flare systems for operators throughout West Texas, the Permian Basin, and Southeast New Mexico. Our VOPT flare systems are built to help control exit velocity, improve air entrainment, support flame stability, and reduce visible smoke during operation.
Built for Evolving Flow Conditions
Flare gas flow is not always consistent.
When flow rates change, flare performance can change with them. If gas exits the flare tip too slowly, combustion may become inefficient. If it exits too quickly, the system may fall outside recommended performance ranges and create additional safety or compliance concerns.
VOPT flares are designed to help manage those changes by automatically adjusting the effective exit area as operating conditions shift. This helps maintain controlled exit velocity, improve air mixing, support flame stability, and reduce the risk of lift-off, instability, or incomplete combustion.
Our VOPT flare capabilities include
- New VOPT flare manufacturing
- Variable Orifice Pressure Tip design
- Single-tip and multi-tip configurations
- Custom flare sizing
- 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
VOPT flares can help operators address combustion performance issues that affect safety, emissions, and compliance.
Onit helps evaluate system factors such as flow rate, exit velocity, radiant heat, pilot reliability, flame monitoring, airflow, and tip performance.
Our goal is to help your flare system burn cleanly, operate safely, and support current emissions expectations.
Field Services that Support Your Operation
A properly designed VOPT flare can improve performance, but field support still matters.
Onit Energy Solutions manufactures VOPT flare systems and supports them with service, repair, maintenance, and retrofit capabilities.
Whether you need a new variable orifice pressure tip flare or need to upgrade an existing system that smokes, burns poorly, or struggles with changing flow conditions, our team is ready to help.
