Flare Specifications Table

*1
”Rated Flow” is the flow rate used by independent third parties to confirm Steffes’ flare compliance with the prescriptive
provisions of 40 CFR 60.18. Gas flow rates that do not exceed these values can be assumed to comply with all relevant EPA flare
performance requirements.

*2
“Max Flow Capacity is the highest flow rate allowed by Steffes for use in each specified flare. Flow Rates above the “Max Flow
Capacity” may void warranties.

*3
Flare can meet requirements of 40 CFR 60.18 if smokeless operation is confirmed by Method 22. Also will need to be evaluated
for flame stability, re-light capability, and radiation.

*4
SPL-1 Pilot can run at 6 – 10 PSI. Flow rate will vary by pressure (224-292 scfd) and gas composition. Flow rate was measured
with propane, to calculate natural gas multiply by 1.6.

*5
SPL-2 Pilot can run at 6 - 30 PSI. Flow rate will vary by pressure (224-538 scfd) and gas composition. Flow rate was measured
with propane, to calculate natural gas multiply by 1.6.

Pressure was measured in main barrel on tip during third party testing.

Data is from third party test report. Flare is designed to operate with 1100 to 2500 BTU/SCF gas.
Performance can be affected by specific gas composition.

Flares are able to handle more flow than the current ratings allow, however “Max Flow Capacity”
is the highest flow rate allowed by Steffes for use in each specified flare. Flow rates above the
“Max Flow Capacity” may void warranties.

Data is for reference only.

Smokeless operation is achieved by building pressure in the flare, and the Minimum Rate is
defined as typical flow required to begin building pressure in flare barrel. Minimum Rate can
be affected by conditions restricting the proper seating of the translating tip and the barrel
resulting in lower operating pressures. Flares operating at pressures less than those shown on
chart can still meet the requirements of 40 CFR 60.18 if verification of smokeless operation is
confirmed by Method 22.

A properly sized, installed, and maintained liquid knockout vessel will help optimize performance
by reducing chance of smoke, freeze up, ETC. Contact Steffes for help on how to properly size
and install vessel.

Third Party has also confirmed the presence of a standing pilot flame monitored by a
thermocouple on all Steffes flares in compliance with EPA 40 CFR 60.18.

Low Pressure curves represent testing data done with air as a medium, and pressure was

Low Pressure Flares (SVG-3B4) meet requirements of 40 CFR 60.18 up to flow rates of 750 mscfd
if verification of smokeless operation is confirmed by method 22.

Flares are designed to operate with 1100 to 2500 BTU/SCF gas. Performance can be affected by

Low Pressure curves represent the nominal to max pressure.

Smokeless operation is achieved by building pressure in the flare, and the Minimum Rate is

Low Pressure curves represent testing data done with air as a medium, and pressure was
measured at the test port upstream at 14’ 9” from flare inlet.

The minimum rate will be affected by gas composition, fan speed, wind speed and etc.

Flares are designed to operate with 1100 to 2500 BTU/SCF gas. Performance can be affected by
specific gas composition.

Low Pressure curves represent the nominal to max pressure during testing.

Data is for reference only.

The Steffes Air Assist Flares are intended for burning low pressure waste gas on production oil
sites. It was designed to help operators meet the requirements set forth in EPA 40 CFR 60.18.

Establishing the proper assist-air fan speed for this product is the responsibility of the flare
operator after installation. It is recommended that one adjust the assist-air fan speed sufficiently
to eliminate visible emissions and smoke (evaluate using Method 22). However, one must not
set the fan speed too high that it reduces the overall combustion efficiency or eliminates the
visible flame. Generally a visible flame is a strong indication that the flare is operating near its
maximum efficiency.

A properly sized, installed, and maintained liquid knockout vessel will help optimize performance
by reducing chance of smoke, freeze up, ETC. Contact Steffes for help on how to properly size
and install vessel.

Third Party has also confirmed the presence of a standing pilot flame monitored by a
thermocouple on all Steffes flares in compliance with EPA 40 CFR 60.18.

Spacing Distance Table Notes
Spacing distance table notes apply to the entire table unless otherwise noted.

1. For reference only.

2. For Steffes flare products only.
3. Data collected using Flaresim 5.1.0.1338
4. Distances in feet.
5. Atmospheric conditions used; temperature 110°F, wind velocity 35 mph, humidity 50%,
barometric 30 in Hg, and solar radiation 254 Btu/hr-ft^2.
6. Worst case shown with 2nd flare non-operational because gas and air flow in 2nd flare
provides cooling of internal parts.
7. Distances based on temperature that internal components can handle. Decreasing distance
may result in premature failure of internal parts.
8. Assumed SAA-4 fan is facing or crosswind of other flare. Facing fan completely away from 1st
flare may reduce distance.
9. Distances are from center to center of bases.
10. Vegetation is assuming dead standing grass. Temperature for other forms of vegetation may
vary.
11. Chance of smoking increases as heat content exceeds 1700 Btu/ft^3. Customer may need to
perform method 22 testing.
12. Includes 8SHC-6 and 4SHC-6
13. Contact Steffes for other options.
