Continuum Ignitor The Model 100 Continuum Ignitor utilizes a high voltage electric arc to ignite a combustible air/gas mixture. This arc typically occurs every 20 seconds for a two second duration (timing is adjustable). The Continuum provides a spark inside a ‘slipstream’ chamber that diverts a portion of the waste gas to create a combustible air/gas mixture. This allows the Continuum ignitor to function without additional pilot gas which is very valuable for facilities with limited pilot gas, or for those that desire to reduce the costs or the emissions from pilot gas usage. The Continuum is commonly used in "Reduced Flaring" or "Zero Emissions" initiatives. The Continuum ignitor is currently installed in thousands of flares around the world with a proven reliability record that allows you to eliminate the need for a continuous pilot gas flame where allowed by local regulations. An optional Continuum H.S.I. (Hot Surface Ignition) system is also under development (in lieu of the electric arc system), and will be commercially available in the near future.
