Improved
Ignition Device and Spark Generator for Industrial Flares and Boiler
Oil
fields, refineries, water treatment plants, waste dumps and
other installations have flares to burn off excess gas, such
as methane. These flares are constructed in such a way were
a commercially available igniter (spark generator), is used
to ignite a gas stream traveling up a flare stack. When the
gas reaches the top of the gas stack the igniter is turned
on. The igniter generates sparks across an electrode, which
reaches into the gas stream. If everything is working as
designed, the sparks ignite the gas.
However, there are several scenarios were the flare might not ignite.
For instance, ambient conditions may be adverse, or the igniter generated
sparks are not powerful enough to ignite the gas. The igniter and/or
electrodes may also have aged and are not performing optimally, in
which case the flare might also not ignite. If the gas
is not ignited the raw and unburned hydrocarbon fuel is
released into the air, adding significant amounts of
pollutants into the atmosphere.
The Omnitek capacitor-based ignition cable will increase the
power of the igniter generated sparks significantly,
improving igniter/spark generator performance to such a
level that ignition of the gas in the flare stack is
assured. This substantially reduces air pollution since no raw and unburned hydrocarbons
are released into the atmosphere.
Some flare igniters/spark generators are weak and cannot supply
enough spark energy to generate a spark at the igniter
electrodes, especially if the distance from the spark
generator to the igniter electrodes is very large. For those
applications Omnitek offers high-performance spark
generators. These spark generator are usable in remote
applications and operate with 12 Volts and 110 Volts.

Capacitor Ignition Wires for Natural Gas Engines (Trucks,
Buses, Generators, Industrial Engines)
Most ignition systems
on CNG engines are weak and cannot assure ignition under all
operating conditions. This hurts fuel consumption, power and
emissions. Furthermore, frequent replacement of low-quality
ignition wires and the associated downtime is a big expense.
Omnitek offers high-quality
capacitor spark plug wires that assure combustion initiation
and reduces replacement frequency of spark plugs and ignition
wires. The technology is licensed from Nology Engineering,
