Variable Orifice Flares
The patented pressure-assisted Steffes Variable Orifice Flare has become the industry standard with its innovative design and superior Destruction Removal Efficiency (DRE). Our variable orifice design efficiently and reliably combusts volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions with its self-adjusting flare tip that uses site vent stream pressure, eliminating the need for electricity on-site.
This innovative product design allows both high and low-pressure gas streams to be used on a single modular device, mitigating the need for multiple flares on one site.
Achieve smokeless operation in compliance with Quad-O & 40 CFR 60.18 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations with our pressure-assisted Variable Orifice Flare, and ensure site reliability while improving up-time with our dual-pilot offering.
We keep Steffes Variable Orifice Flares stocked in our inventory yards across the country!
