Featured ProjectDual Candlestick Flare for RNG Facility Expansion
Project OverviewThe Assai RNG facility faced compliance risks and operational challenges due to an outdated flare system unable to handle increased gas volumes. Profire resolved this with a custom-designed dual candlestick flare system featuring a 12,000 SCFM capacity, PF2100F controllers for real-time monitoring, and remote operation capabilities. The upgrade ensured EPA compliance, enhanced safety, and enabled reliable emergency gas diversion without interrupting plant operations.
