All BKE enclosed biogas flares are specifically engineered for more than 90% methane destruction efficiency in order to ensure that as little methane escapes into the atmosphere as possible. The whole purpose of flaring excess biogas is to prevent the release of harmful methane from just being released into the atmosphere.
Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. Even though CO2 has a longer-lasting effect, methane sets the pace for warming in the near term. As release of 1kg of methane has an impact equal to roughly 21kg of CO2, so clearly the most environmentally responsible thing any biogas producer can do with their excess gas is to burn it.
All of our Flare systems are CDM compliant and installation of a BKE clean biogas system qualifies your company for CDM Carbon Credits. This is an opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint while utilizing BKE technology to reduce your operating costs.
Key selling points of BKE Enclosed Biogas Flare Systems:
BKE designs and fabricates flares to accomplish your needs. Small or large, standard or custom, all are designed to meet your specific requirements. Our products are recognized and in operation worldwide.
BKE combustion technology together with correct material selection and our unique designs, allows our flares to be in operation constantly throughout inclement rain and wind conditions. Safety is our priority, thus flame arresters, flame detector and automatic burner controls with safety shut-off valve are always standard components.
Corrosion by hydrogen sulfide contained in biogas is a key consideration, so all contact areas with corrosive elements are constructed of high-grade stainless steel. Additionally, the gas train is designed to allow a low gas pressure supply in order to consume less electricity by the blowers or pumps.
With more than 25 years of experience and references, BKE provides the best combustion results with the highest standards of construction and safety, ensuring you systems reliability and long operational life. Furthermore, our clients can realize the greatest gain of Carbon Credit since all BKE Biogas Flares are CDM compliant.
