  • DRE MAX® Advanced Blower/Assist Gas Controls & Energy Efficiency

    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.

    Automated Assist Gas Control: DRE MAX® is the answer for operators who have a gas assisted flare that is adjusted manually and may not be burning efficiently, especially if the inlet flow rate is changing over time: not enough assist gas will increase risk of smoke, too much assist gas will increase radiation and waste assist gas. DRE MAX® ensures that the right amount of assist gas is always automatically sent, as-needed or on-demand, to ensure the highest destruction efficiency while optimizing utility consumption.

    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).

    Decrease the total amount of blower air required by half: The proprietary design of the flare tip and risers allow the flare system to cut the amount of combustion air required by 50%, compared to traditional air assist flares.

  • How It Works

    DreamDuo Air Assist flare systems are composed of two flare technologies combined into one: air assist + pressure assist. These flares have a much wider range of flexibility for smokeless flow, when compared to other assisted flares, because the blower and the air riser size can be customized to meet specific process conditions. Combined with advanced blower control provided by a VFD using Cimarron’s proprietary DRE MAX® controller, Cimarron’s DDAA flare systems are optimized to meet any smokeless, OOOOb, and emission requirements.

    DreamDuo Gas Assist flare systems are composed of two flare technologies combined into one: gas assist + pressure assist. These flares are used in applications where the jobsite does not have power available for a blower, or for applications where assist gas is preferred instead of using rotating equipment (blowers) for smokeless flow. These gas assisted flare systems utilize on-demand assist gas control, compared to continuous assist gas flow on traditional gas assist flares, using Cimarron’s proprietary DRE MAX® controller. Cimarron’s DDGA flare systems are optimized to meet any smokeless, OOOOb, and emission requirements.

    DreamDuo No Assist flare systems are composed of two flare technologies combined into one: unassisted + pressure assist. These flares are used in applications where the flowrate and composition fit into the proprietary design range of sizes, to provide smokeless flow without any assist medium required. Typical applications are where the jobsite does not have power available for a blower, or for applications where assist gas is not available or not preferred for smokeless flow. These unassisted DreamDuo (DD) flare systems are optimized to meet any smokeless, OOOOb, and emission requirements.

    ** Standard voltage rating, 120 VAC voltage can be provided upon request, using oversized VFD

  • Design Parameter Considerations

    • Inlet Gas Temperature: Standard packages utilize carbon steel gas risers that can handle temperatures ranging from -20°F up to 600°F+. Low-temperature carbon steel can be utilized as a cost-effective solution for temps down to -50°F. For gas that is colder than -50°F, stainless steel process pipe is used.
    • Inlet Pressure: Flares can handle a range of inlet pressures up to 50 psig. The standard steel piping of the gas riser can structurally handle pressures higher than 50 psig, considering that flare systems are open to atmosphere and do not retain pressure. However, there is potential for the flare tip flame to break away or lift off form the flare tip at pressures higher than 50 psig. Special design considerations can be utilized at pressures higher than 50 psig to fit your specific needs.
    • Blower: Air Assist flare systems utilize a Vaneaxial or Centrifugal blower to provide combustion air to make the flare perform with smokeless flow. The correct amount of air is supplied to the waste gas stream and is referred to as the stoichiometric ratio, which varies depending on gas composition. The amount of air required varies depending on the gas flow rate and composition of the waste gas.
    • Variable Frequency Drives (VFD): The VFD is utilized to control the blower speed. As the gas flow rate varies, the VFD will need to adjust the blower speed to keep the correct stoichiometric ratio of air to gas, to ensure smokeless flow and also prevent over-aeration. Automatic control of the VFD is crucial to stay within correct range. The typical range of control for VFD settings is between 6 to 60 Hz on the blower.
    • Assist Gas: Assist Gas is utilized for smokeless flow on the Gas Assist DreamDuo. The amount of assist gas is calculated to correctly size the assist gas line and modulating assist gas valve. To ensure the correct amount of assist gas is used, regulated assist gas is requested with at least 15 psig or more pressure at the base of the flare system.
