Mobile Gas Flare S - 402280
Description
We have developed the Mobile Gas Flare S especially for house connections.
It is a cost-effective and compact solution which is used for pure gas flaring. The device is ready for use in a few minutes and is thus a suitable measure to avoid large blow-out volumes even in the area of house connections. Especially in the case of house connections, the volumes to be saved from a single connection pipe are small, but as soon as these small quantities of such a measure are added up over many applications, e.g. in an annual balance, a considerable emission avoidance potential is created. With the help of the Mobile Gas Flare S, a significant contribution to the reduction of methane emissions in the gas distribution network can be achieved during the commissioning of house connection pipes alone, through the use of low investment costs and low labour input per measure. Gas flares are also recommended as an effective tool for reducing operational methane emissions in the currently published DVGW Code of Practice G 404.
An integrated (continuous) ignition guarantees stable combustion and also ensures sufficient occupational safety, as no personnel have to
go near the escaping gas to ignite the flame. The working range of the gas flare is limited to a maximum of 1 bar, as factors such as flame
pattern, sound level and stable combustion would no longer be optimal at higher pressures. As soon as an ignitable mixture is present at the gas flare (with methane usually from concentrations of 60 % upwards), it is reliably ignited if the maximum inlet pressure of the gas flare is maintained. Combustion by the Mobile Gas Flare S is low in pollutants and environmentally friendly.
Flaring not only contributes to environmental protection by reduction of greenhouse gases, but also to occupational safety. With our
Mobile Gas Flare S, we make a further contribution to climate-neutral distribution grid operation and provide technical solutions for
climate protection and occupational safety.

Connection example
For safe operation of the Mobile Gas Flare S(1) it is necessary to use the appropriate accessories.
The Mobile Gas Flare S is connected to the connection strip(3) via a gas-resistant hose (material NBR)(2)
with a length of 2 metres using quick connectors (Camlock).
On the connection strip, which functions as a control panel, is a pressure reducer on the input side, which ensures
that a maximum pressure of 1 bar is applied to the Mobile Gas Flare.
On the outlet side, there is a ball valve with which the gas flow can be initiated from a safe distance to the gas flare.
If required, two additional connections can be used to record and measure variables such as pressure with our smart memo or gas concentration with our OLLI.
An integrated control manometer serves as a safety feature.
A gas-resistant hose(4) with a length of 5 metres can be used to connect the connection strip to the
gas line or the house connection. The hoses are each equipped with a Camlock male part and a Camlock female part,
so that they can be extended with another hose if necessary.
Suitable adapters for connecting the hose to the gas pipe or the house connection are also available, usually the HUGO test head(5) is a suitable choice.
All required accessories can be found in the accessories case(6). If you need further adapters, please contact
your Esders representative.
