Title:
HOT SURFACE IGNITION ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN PILOTS FOR FLARING, INCINERATION, AND PROCESS BURNERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/058587
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An ignition assembly for use in pilots for flaring, incineration, and process burner applications, includes a hot surface igniter assembly specifically located in the pilot head or combustion chamber of a flame front ignition system for providing a pilot ignition source. The pilot head is positioned proximally to the exhaust exit of a flare gas stack. The hot surface ignition assembly is positioned proximally to the pilot head. The hot surface ignition assembly passes electric current through a ceramic -insulated element in order to produce heat by induction sufficient to ignite said pilot gas. A thermocouple, or other form of flame sensor, is provided for detecting and a sensing the existence of pilot flame and for controlling the ignition sequence.
