Low calorie gas flare

Since our first low calorie gas flare installation in 2010, the design of our LC flare has been perfected. We can now provide our customers with an optimum solution for safe and efficient degassing of old landfill sites.

Efficient, Portable, Performance-Ready

Innovative Low Calorie Gas Flares for Safe Disposal of Low Methane Landfill Gas

Landfill Systems are worldwide innovators in low calorie gas flare technology. Our LC range of high performance gas flares has been specifically developed to address the need to safely dispose of low flows of landfill gas or flows of gas with low methane content, such as are increasingly found on aged landfill sites. Gas flows with a methane content as low as 12%CH4 (up to 100%CH4) and low flow ranges of 10m3/hr or above can be handled.

Engineered for Efficiency

The complete, compact and ready to go solution provided by Landfill Systems Low Calorie gas flare LC range has an aesthetically pleasing, simple design with a small footprint of only 1.8m x 1.2m. At only 3.6m high, it encompasses precise ideas to remove the ‘clutter’ of existing flare systems. The intelligently designed one-piece LC flare needs minimal site preparation. The compact design and low clutter look doesn’t mean the LC gas flare scrimps on features though. Many accessories are included as standard, making Landfill Systems the first choice for Low Calorie Gas Flaring.

Tailored to suit your requirements

Our LC Gas Flares leave our workshop fully assembled and factory tested ensuring that once delivered, our engineers can simply and reliably install, connect and commission within a matter of hours. This ‘plug and play’ system is intended to work perfectly when first connected, with little or no adjustment required by the user.

The optimum solution for the safe and efficient degassing of your site.

Ready assembled and tested

Our low-calorie flares are delivered as one piece, requiring no assembly. On-site commissioning is minimal due to the extensive pre-delivery testing.

Future proof design

Our modular design allows easy replacement of the combustion assembly of a low-calorie flare to accommodate future changes of the calorific value of the waste gas stream. No need to replace the flare.

Energy efficient

The use of inverter drives and modern control systems, ensures that the energy consumption of a low-calorie flare is always the optimum needed to the treat the gas flow being managed.

Versatile gas flow range

Whether your gas stream is a low flow of high calorie gas, or a higher flow of low-calorie gas, our low-calorie flare will combust it safely and efficiently. World class exhaust gas emissions are achieved throughout the wide operating range of each flare model.

Low operating costs

Low power consumption through efficient design. No propane or butane needed for ignition or combustion support. No gas cylinders to manage or handle. No lubricants or drive belts are needed, keeping maintenance costs low.

Low environmental impact

The materials of construction are easily recycled. The compact and lightweight design minimises shipping and handling costs. The modular design allows a change in capacity without the need to replace the flare.

High quality construction

Careful selection of materials ensures a high-quality product with a long and extendable lifespan. The materials used are mostly inherently corrosion resistant, with minimal use of paint.

Low emissions

Reliable, repeatable, world class exhaust gas emissions levels, are second to none and are achieved without operator intervention.

Customisable, Reliable & Cost-Effective

The LC flare range provides a high level of ‘future proofing’

Should the landfill gas flow or methane level drop below the flare lower operating limit at some future point, the flare combustion system can be changed to suit the new conditions at a fraction of the cost of replacing the flare. For example, an LC500 can be easily downsized to an LC250, just by changing the combustion system. 
 
If you know the approximate flow and methane content of your gas stream, the capacity of the LC flare required can be easily assessed. As a rule of thumb, just multiply the flow (m3/hr.) by the % methane. Then multiply the result by 10 to give the capacity required in kW of heat (kWth). For example, a gas flow of 110m3/hr at 18% methane has an approximate theoretical calorific value of 198kWth. An LC200 low calorie flare would be the most suitable model. 

The Power of Compact Flaring

Before: A Landfill Systems High Temperature 600m3/hr Enclosed Landfill Gas Flare installed in 2004, standing at 7.5m tall.

After: A Landfill Systems LC500 Enclosed Low Calorie Landfill Gas Flare installed in 2017, standing at 3.5m tall.
