Ultra High Efficiency Steam Injection System

• XP Technology
• Straight tubes that optimize the primary air
  entrainment and mixing with the flare
  gas.

• Existing Technology
• Bent steam/air tubes that cause high pressure
  drop restricting the primary air that can mix
  with the flare gas.

Improved Mixing
The XP utilizes a patent-pending Moderated Shear
Mixing technique providing superior smokeless
performance. This is achieved by optimizing
turbulence in the steam/air/flare gas mixing zone.

Increased Secondary Air Efficiency
The XP uses multiple small-diameter tubes. These
tubes allow open paths for secondary air to be
entrained and mixed into the flame prior to
combustion. Existing high capacity steam flares
use a large diameter barrel that does not allow
internal secondary air entrainment.

XP Steam System Benefits

• Saves more than 30 of the steam used by current
  technologies at the same smokeless capacity.

• Uses much less standby steam (cooling steam) than
  existing technologies.

This combined reduction in steam usage provides
significant annual operational cost savings.

Additional XP Benefits

• In addition to the benefits associated with the
  advanced steam injection system, the XP has the
  added benefit of increasing the expected tip life.

Steam Capping Reduces Tip Life
Existing technologies are susceptible to severe
damage due to steam capping, the phenomenon that
results in flame backflow. This occurs when the
upper steam is operated at too high a rate.

XP Improved Tip Life

• The XP steam flare eliminates upper steam nozzles
  and the associated damage due to steam capping.

• The XP single steam line simplifies operation and
  thereby reduces the possibility of tip damage due
  to improper steam control.
