CONVENTIONAL vs
CEB COMBUSTION
Industrial processing activities create significant
amounts of waste gases. These gases need to be
handled in a safe and environmentally friendly way,
preferably by oxidation (combustion).
Conventional flare systems are commonly handling
these oxidation processes. Due to the atmospheric
combustion principle, these conventional systems
have emissions with high percentages of unburned
hydrocarbons and CO levels.
As a result of the relative high combustion temperature, due to the hot spots in the flame, and a
relative long residence time, conventional flare
systems are emitting serious amounts of NOx.
All of these emissions have a big impact on the
greenhouse effect.
Another disadvantage of these systems are the
long diffuse yellow flames that create high levels
of heat and radiation.

LANDFILL
For a major Canadian Oil Company Bekaert CEB Technologies performed a well test
on the permafrost in Northern Canada with 4 CEB 4500s. The bottom picture shows
the plant layout by daylight, including the burning conventional flare. In the circled area
the CEBs are seen and the picture is a perfect example of the small size of the CEB
4500 in relation to conventional flaring systems.
The conventional flare heats up the area which means the
flare may melt into the permafrost. To avoid melting of the
permafrost the conventional flare has to be turned of,
decreasing productivity significantly.
CEBs were used during this well test to reduce emissions,
avoid heating up of the area, increase productivity to 24/7
and prevent landscape pollution. On the top picture CEB
4500s are running at maximum capacity during the night.
CEBs flexibility in capacity is clearly demonstrated by
connecting additional CEBs to increase capacity up to the
desired level. The image is a good example of the complete
enclosed combustion process. Other well test applications
are tight holes, urbanized areas, landowner concerns,
environmental concerns and sour gas.

H 2S
The Clean Enclosed Burner (CEB) are also capable
of handling gas mixtures with high toxic H2S levels.
Dispersion calculations according to the EPA Screen
3 model show that a level of 14% H2S can be
handled remaining below the maximum value of 450
mg/m3 (equivalent to 0,2 ppm). This in accordance
with the most stringent regulations of North America.
CEBs were used on applications with H2S levels
up to 28%.
REFINERY
The CEB 4500 is here used on a storage and processing facility to combust solution gas and
waste gas on a large refinery site. The gas composition varies from small hydrocarbons up to
heavy ends. The CEB 4500 was the preferred solution due to its low emissions, no visible flames,
low noise, complete combustion of H2S, its large turn down ratio and the possibility to combust
multiple gas streams with different flow rates and gas compositions. Similar applications are
continuous flaring at refineries and chemical complexes or combustion of waste gases from
strippers (even steam!!) or batch chemical reactors.
W A S T E W AT E R T R E AT M E N T
On waste water treatment sites, Bekaert CEB
Technologies installed CEB 350s as an
emergency flare to combust biogas produced
by the anaerobic fermentation process.
The CEB 350 was the selected technology
because it only needs 15% of methane equivalents
to realize complete combustion, its large turn
down ratios in gas composition and flow rate,
its low emissions and low operational costs.
