Primus Rapid Flare Ignition
For Flare Gas Recovery & Standby Flares

A Simpler Approach with
Superior Results.
Sometimes, simpler is better. That’s the case with pilot ignition for
flares. Other systems rely on multiple, complex components that
require ongoing maintenance and a design that causes early or
late ignition issues. But at John Zink Hamworthy Combustion, we
combined our decades of experience in the field with our expertise
in research and development to simplify ignition and solve those
problems. The result: the Primus Rapid Flare Ignition. No moving
parts. Just superior results.

A Smarter Design For Faster,
More Reliable Performance.
The Primus Rapid Flare Ignition delivers near-zero flaring because
of its lightning quick performance. Primus lights the flare in
seconds. There’s no waiting for air egress and as a result, no delay
in fuel delivery. This gives you near-instant lighting as reliable as

A Simple Concept.
A Complex Solution.
The concept behind the Primus Rapid Flare
Ignition is simple. But engineering that concept
into a reliable solution requires decades of
experience. Many factors affect how the design
is applied. Our engineering experts consider a
variety of elements including:
++ Transient phenomenon presents many variables

your existing pilot.

++ Stack height and location impacting volumes in

Eliminates timing issues: No need to worry about vapor

++ Number of pilots and pilot configuration

cloud accumulation due to a late ignition. Primus early ignition
ensures the flare is safely lit.

fuel header

++ Orifice sizes
++ Fuel supply pressure

Free of moving parts: Minimizes potential problems and
maintenance issues and expenses.

++ Length and diameter of system
++ Types of pilot gas

Utilizes proven technologies: Uses existing John Zink pilot
technology with a proven track record.
Easy to retrofit: With no new pilot technology needed, it’s easy
to mate to your existing John Zink electronic pilot.
No explosives needed: Eliminates many safety concerns, the
need for special permits, and the added expense of projectiles.
No additional line required for deployment: Minimizes installation
costs and concerns for ongoing maintenance.

Only proper design of this patent pending
technology by John Zink Hamworthy Combustion
will correctly address these variables and ensure
successful operation and reliable performance
