QTI Technology Advantages

We highlighted several of the Key Technology advantages of the QTI Enclosed Flare Incineration System. Feel free to establish contact with us if you would like to receive more information or you would like to set up an introduction meeting with one of our flare specialist.

Efficiency
QTI enclosed flare incinerators have been independently tested and verified that they combust waste gas streams at an efficiency rate of >99.99% thereby converting waste streams to less hazardous and manageable emissions, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and sulfur dioxide. The incinerators will ensure the safe combustion of the waste stream for not only the public and but also for project personnel.

No smoke, No odor, No visible 
QTI designs its incinerators to operate with no visible flame, odors or black smoke which is often present in other, less efficient combustion systems. QTI incinerators are often deployed in areas where there is the potential for resident concerns. QTI's proprietary combustion technology safely and reliably addresses issues relating to visibility, odors, air quality and compliance.

Close spacing
Questor incinerators are equipped with a number of safeguards that prevent any communication between the internal incinerator process and the environment external to the incinerator. It is these features that allow the incinerator to be placed immediately adjacent to the other process equipment.

Low level ground heat
Questor incinerators are refractory lined which retains heat and minimizes losses from combustion to stack exit. Low level ground heat radiation allows for facility integration as well as ensuring the safety of personnel. Surface radiation research from a Q5000 incinerator (5 MMscf/d capacity) indicates a kW/m2 of 1.14 at 1.5 m.




Natural draft air intake

QTI's natural draft system avoids potential downtime that is often associated with assisted air and waste intakes systems such as blowers and fans. Air is naturally drawn into the combustion zone as the flow of waste/fuel gas increases and, conversely, air flow reduces as the flow of fuel/waste gas lowers.

Power
When applicable, the incorporation of a solar panel power system ensures reliable and remote operation with the capability of stored power for seven (7) days without direct sunlight.

 


QTI - Enclosed Flare Incineration System have been independently and extensively tested in a variety of applications by clients including ExxonMobil, Shell, TransCanada Pipelines, Vacquero, and Dominion Exploration.
