Steffes Air Assist Flares: Ensuring Smokeless Combustion and Regulatory Compliance

Steffes Air Assist Flares are considered perimeter assist flares—but what does that mean, and why is it important?

Perimeter assist air refers to the portion of assist air that is introduced at the perimeter of the flare tip or just above it. This includes air that is intentionally entrained in both the lower and upper steam, ensuring proper combustion.

So why does this matter? Regulations like Quad Ob set strict standards for emissions, requiring flares to operate with no visible smoke. Steffes Air Assist Flares are engineered to meet these regulations by delivering a clean, smokeless burn. By effectively mixing air and gas at the point of combustion, our flares minimize environmental impact and help operators stay in compliance without compromising efficiency.

With a focus on reliability and environmental responsibility, Steffes Air Assist Flares offer a proven solution for operators looking to meet emissions requirements while maximizing site performance.
