Ignition Device

Those flammable gas contains mainly methane, hydrogen sulfide etc, which separated out from drilling fluids via mud gas separator should be vented through a hose pipe to a safe area where in certain far distance away, the flare ignition device is installed in the area, when the gas vent out, the ignition device will create high voltage electric spark to ignite the flammable gas.

Controllable is the key: combustion occurs in designated, open air, at a safe distance from well site equipment and personnel, and the size and state of the flame can be directly observed.

Ignition Device Working Principle

The working principle of the ignition device is based on a safe, controlled gas combustion process, with the specific workflow as follows:

1

Gas Separation

When drilling fluid (mud) separates flammable gases (mainly methane, and hydrogen sulfide, etc.) through the liquid-gas separator, these gases are directed to a safe area at a certain distance from the well site through a dedicated exhaust pipeline (usually called "burning arm" or "vent pipe").

2

Device Installation

The electronic ignition device is installed at the outlet of this pipeline, ensuring a safe distance from well site equipment and personnel.

3

Automatic Ignition

When gas is discharged, the device automatically generates high-energy electric sparks to ignite the gas, forming a stable flame.

4

Controlled Combustion

"Controlled" is key: combustion occurs in designated, open air, maintaining a safe distance from well site equipment and personnel. The size and status of the flame can be directly observed, ensuring the entire process is safe and controllable.
