DRE MAX® II – Smart Control for Gas-Assisted Flares

DRE MAX® II – Smart Control for Gas-Assisted Flares

Gas Assist + DRE MAX® system provides on-demand assist gas, using only what’s needed and adjusting flow accordingly, which reduces utility costs and emissions while delivering the highest efficiency and DRE performance in the industry. Ideal for sites without steam, adequate gas pressure, or blower power, Gas Assist flares also help enrich low-heating-value waste gas for stable combustion, with assist gas injected either at the flare header or through flame-zone nozzles to ensure complete, smokeless combustion.

  • DRE MAX® Advanced Assist Gas Controls & Energy Efficiency

    Automated Assist Gas Control: DRE MAX® is the answer for operators who have a gas assisted flare. Traditional gas assist flare systems require a steady flowrate of assist gas to the flare system 24 hours a day. The assist gas does not vary as the waste gas flow rate varies, wasting assist gas when not needed and significantly increasing utility costs. DRE MAX® ensures that the optimized amount of assist gas flow is always automatically sent to flare by modulating the assist gas as-needed, to ensure the highest destruction efficiency and stay in compliance.

    Decrease the total amount of emissions by half: Because DRE MAX® modulates the assist gas flow as the waste gas flow varies, it decreases flare emissions by at least 50% compared to traditional assist gas flares. As a result, gas-assisted flare with DRE MAX® can significantly reduce gas consumption and reduce emissions at the same time.

  • DRE MAX® Advanced Assist Air Controls

    Automated Blower Control: DRE MAX® is the answer for operators who have an air assisted flare with a VFD blower that is adjusted manually and may not be burning efficiently, especially if the inlet flow rate is changing over time: not enough air will increase risks of smoke, too much air will increase risks of incomplete combustion and methane venting, even in the presence of a flame. DRE MAX® ensures that the right amount of air flow is always automatically sent to ensure the highest destruction efficiency and stay in compliance.

    Decrease the total amount of emissions by half: Because DRE MAX® was proven to achieve at least 99% DRE, it decreases flare emissions by at least 50% compared to regular 98% DRE flares. As a result, air-assisted flare with DRE MAX® can enable doubling the throughput of oil production in the case of routine flaring (in field test cases we have achieved 99.9% DRE).
