Proven PerformanceThe XP’s superior performance has been proven in a wide variety of full-scale tests at John Zink’s world class Research, Development and Test Center, as well as in customer performance tests during actual plant operation.




The XP design initiative focused on improving the performance characteristics of current steam flare technology including:

Steam efficiency

Tip life

Smokeless capacity

Steam control complexity

Installation costs




Current High Smokeless Capacity Technology

Current industry technologies are sophisticated designs requiring complex control of multiple steam lines.




Breakthrough XP Design

The XP advanced steam injection system was designed to provide ultra-high steam efficiency.

The XP steam injection system features a single steam line and simplified steam controls.

Single Steam Line




Ultra High Efficiency Steam Injection System

Existing Technology Bent steam/air tubes that cause high

pressure drop restricting the primary air that can mix with the flare gas.

XP Technology Straight tubes that optimize the

primary air entrainment and mixing with the flare gas.

BentSteam Tubes


Straight Steam Tubes



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.

Secondary Air




XP Steam System Benefits

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

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

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

Steam Capping Reduces Tip Life

Upper steam

Waste gas

Lowersteam

Center steam

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.

Single Steam Line




XP Benefit Summary Steam Efficiency

Greater than 30% reduction in steam requirement for a given smokeless rate Continuous steam savings during standby operation

Increased smokeless capacity Greater than 40% additional smokeless capacity for a given flare tip size

Single steam line Simplified operation Lower installation costs of piping, instruments and controls

Longer tip life No flame engulfment due to capping Simplified steam control
