AF series description.
Zeeco’s AF flare series uses advanced technology proven to
achieve smokeless flaring when neither steam nor assist gas is
available or economical.
Our AF flares utilize a low-pressure blower to inject assist
air via Zeeco’s proprietary design, which splits the waste gas
stream into several smaller streams at the exit of the flare tip.
This increases the contact surface area between the waste
gas and the assist air, maximizing mixing and turbulence while
minimizing the amount of blower horsepower required to achieve
smokeless flaring.
Better design means safer operation.
The waste gases from the flare header as well as the assist air
from the blower are isolated from the base of the flare stack to
the top of the flare tip. As a result, the two streams never come in
contact with each other prior to exiting the flare tip. This ensures
the safe operation of your flare system. Zeeco’s AF flare systems
can operate without the blower, providing safe disposal of the
waste gas in the event of a power outage.
Our proprietary design and the blower’s velocity virtually
eliminate “flame lick” on the exterior of the flare tip and
“burnback” inside the flare tip. The forced air from the blower
also shortens the flame length and reduces the radiation at grade
due to the highly aerated mixture of waste gases.

Air-Assisted AF Flare
Applications
• ZEECO® AF series flares are ideal for refining, LNG, production, steel
industries, petrochemical, offshore platforms, pulp and paper plants,
pharmaceuticals, and food processing plants.
• Our AF series flares are the preferred choice for industries that require
smokeless flaring when neither steam nor assist gas is desired, available,
or cost-effective.
• AF series flares are the best option for harsh conditions, such as arctic
environments where steam could freeze or desert environments where
water is scarce. Air-Assisted AF Flare Blowers
• ZEECO AF series flare tips make sense as a replacement for other
manufacturers’ flare tips.
