The Vapor Combustion Unit from Anguil integrates the ease of an enclosed flare with the thermal oxidizer’s destruction performance.

If planned for intermittent use or installed on a constant emission stream, the Anguil VCU technology has several benefits over other enclosed combustion systems. It is a robust device with the potential to tackle altering emission flow rates and concentration changes.

Thermal flaring technologies utilized to destroy hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) have been developed in two fundamental configurations: open and enclosed flame burners.

New regulations on vapor radiation, visible emissions, greenhouse gases (GHGs), and noise pollution have driven the industry away from open flaring and toward the enclosed vapor combustion system.

Based on the industry, the following terms might be utilized interchangeably to explain the vapor combustor technology: Medium Temperature Flare (MTF), Low Emission Flare (LEF), High-Temperature Flare (HTF), Industrial Burners, Biogas Flares, Enclosed Flares, Gas Burners, Open Flame Flare, Fired Heaters, Flare Stack, Candlestick Flare, Thermal Combustors, Fire Box, Enclosed Burners, Vapor Combustor Units (VCUs).

Before introducing process gases, a purge sequence inside the VCU eliminates any present combustibles from the device.

The pilot ignites just after the system controls verify a safe condition. The process gas is introduced into the system via an inlet duct or isolation valve. It is these process emissions which further start fueling the combustion device.

The vapor combustion of the Anguil unit could be developed in a natural draft configuration, nullifying the requirement for combustion air fans, or with a blower package under low process pressure conditions.

In most cases, combustion air has been drawn into the ruin chamber through one or more natural-draft air inlets. Regulating control dampers automatically offer temperature control guaranteeing proper combustion temperatures available for the oxidation of several compounds.

The emissions might be introduced to the combustion chamber via various burner heads or stages for highly variable process conditions, both regarding flow and hydrocarbon content.

Staged introduction of process gases leads to greater system turndown ratios and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions like CO2 and NOX. Also, this firm and staged combustion burner enables emission destruction at low operating temperatures; normally between 1500 and 1800 °F (815 and 982 °C).

At the time of the operation, the destruction of process gases in the combustion chamber is typically achieved via an exothermic reaction. When inadequate VOCs are present to retain oxidation alone, supplemental fuel is needed for achieving destruction temperatures.

The natural gas burner is just utilized for supplemental firing to retain emission destruction and operating temperature during a low BTU content process gas condition. With the correct mix of time, temperature, and turbulence, the VCU normally notices destruction efficiencies upwards of 99+%.
