Waste Burner Systems

For those unfamiliar with the process of flaring, the thought of adding to CO2 emissions for no gain may seem like a bad idea. However, it’s much better than the alternative. If excess process gas is not flared, then you are releasing much more harmful chemicals to the atmosphere and surrounding environment. These chemicals are known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They pose a much larger threat to the environment than the compounds released when the VOCs are burned off. This is why we see flares at many industrial facilities. It’s much safer and more environmentally friendly.

Some processes may malfunction and cause excess gas as well. Excess gas can be piped off to a flare for safe handling, rather than the pressure being passed downline and creating potentially dangerous scenarios. This gives better environmental results and is critical for ensuring the integrity of the downstream process. And, most importantly, it helps ensure operator safety.

It’s an inevitable by-product of many industrial processes that VOCs are made. If they can’t be recycled, put to use within their process, or sold then we need a safe and effective way of dealing with them. This is where products like a Groth Waste Gas Burner are required. Specifically designed for biogas applications, this waste gas burner offers technology that improves efficiency, safety, and reliability in your waste gas burning operations. This Groth device offers burning capability of low BTU gas sources as well. This means that lower energy content waste gases won’t pass through unburned.

The Model 8392B Gas Burner from Groth also boasts a stoichiometric pilot flame operation resulting in a proper flame temperature for ideal burning. This means the system is able to regulate the fuel to oxygen ratio for the most efficient burning possible. This maximizes the VOCs eliminated and gives the cleanest burn possible.
