Pyrotechnics yields environmental benefit!
Annual emissions from Flares is estimated to be approx. 150 billion cubic meters gas. To extinguish the flare, and reduce emissions, will provide enormous environmental benefit. But The flare must be able to be ignited quickly and safely again.
LifeTime Ignition AS provides a solution.
In a busy Christmas period, we met 3 entrepreneurs in LifeTime Ignition AS. The company, which since 2019 has delivered reliable, cost-effective and stand-alone On-demand ignition systems to Norwegian and international installations.
– With long experience, from Low- and High pressure pyrotechnic ignition systems, we are developing and maintaining our own systems. It reduces the use of flare burners and pilot gas on platforms," says Håvard Damm Bertheussen, Øystein Ytrearne and Øystein Selø.
Safe ignition
Simultaneously with the extinguishing of the flare, emergency flaring of natural gas in oil and gas production is a safety-critical action.
– If the gas is emitted unignited, the gas poses a great risk on the Installation.
– Our Pyro Technical Ignition System (PTIS) is a very reliable ignition system that ensures that the flare ignites when needed, regardless of weather conditions. The PTIS system delivers a "cloud" of high temperature zirconium sparks at the flare-tip that ignites the flare gas.
Most of the installations in the North Sea that have the flare extinguished, utilizing this type of technology.
"Anyway, it's surprising- Many Norwegian and international installations, on- and offshore, still have the flare lit" the three said.
Environmental benefits and resources
In addition to the environmental benefits, the companies can save taxes as well as using the gas for operation of the platform or go into the company's deliveries.
– The flare can and should be extinguished, at the same time as it is important for safety that the flare can be ignited safely and effective.
- The PTIS is the best and most cost-effective solution for this.
