Prosafe Production's FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading) tanker Espoir Ivoirien is moored offshore Côte D'Ivoire. At the heart of the 60,000 barrels-per-day production facility is a power supply provided by twin large steam boilers and, ultimately, Hamworthy's combustion system for firing produced fuel gas and diesel oil.
Prosafe required fast-track ship conversion with zero downtime and minimal shipyard installation work. Hamworthy Combustion provided an integrated dual fuel combustion package with maximum pre-assembly to successfully meet client requirements. As a result, Hamworthy Combustion were awarded a second, near-identical, order for the sister-ship Abo FPSO, now operating on the Abo oilfield, offshore Nigeria.
'Hamworthy Combustion is clearly the world leading supplier of combustion systems for FPSOs and other offshore production units. It’s a company we’re delighted to be associated with.’
Frances Xavier, Marketing Engineer, Aalborg Industries, Singapore.

The recent development of the new breed of diesel and dual-fuel Liquid Natural Gas Carriers, and the requirement for a Gas Combustion Unit, has proved to be yet another platform for Hamworthy Combustion’s continued dominance in equipment supply to the LNG shipping industry.
Hamworthy Combustion is recognised as a world leader in the design and manufacture of combustion equipment, and the development of the AMOxsafe® Gas Combustion Unit has cemented Hamworthy Combustion’s status as a market leader in the supply of safe, reliable equipment to incinerate excess boil-off gas.
The AMOxsafe® GCU was specifically required to safely dispose of excess boil-off gas from the LNG cargo tanks and the weaker waste gas mixes from processes onboard the LNG carriers. With almost 100 years of engineering experience and decades of marine application knowledge, the unit is a compact, all metal design to meet the stringent requirements from ship-owners and classification societies.
Hamworthy Combustion has created a unit that meets and exceeds market requirements and, to support this new technology, has invested over a million US dollars building a 100 MW demonstration unit at their site in Poole on the South Coast of England. This unit has been used to demonstrate their commitment to providing innovative solutions to the changing needs (critical incineration problems) of the LNG industry.
The unit is part of the Hamworthy Combustion Technology Centre and is the only facility of its kind in the world. It allows on-site demonstrations and is an integral part of training for ship owners and operators.
Hamworthy Combustion’s Institute developed training courses, with dedicated instructors, to give operating crews theoretical and hands-on practical training prior to entering service.
This DNV accredited course has been developed with the LNG industry’s safety issues at heart and is suitable for all personnel requiring experience with GCU technology, with almost 200 operators trained to date from organisations such as Shell, Teekay and Leif Höegh.
Further evidence of Hamworthy Combustion’s commitment to the industry is the introduction of Long Term Service Agreements for the AMOxsafe® GCU.
Dedicated support personnel with specific customer knowledge co-ordinate training, service engineer attendance and product support, providing 24 / 7 qualified technical support and guaranteed service engineer attendance. This new concept of product support for marine equipment has already had significant interest from shipping companies, some already seeing the benefit of the Amoxsafe® Product and the value added gained from a Long Term Service Agreement.
Recent market success shows the need for owners to have a unit which meets and exceeds industry requirements and as such over the last 12 months Hamworthy Combustion has dominated the new order awards for Gas Combustion units, achieving 100% of all new build contracts. This is demonstrable evidence of the industry’s recognition of the AMOxsafe® as a product with superior performance with unbeatable after service back up, giving the customer total confidence in this safety systems ability to perform in the field.
From initial design enquiry, construction, onboard commissioning and after-sales service, teams of dedicated specialists are focused on continuing Hamworthy Combustion’s tradition of meeting the safety, environmental and efficiency challenges of the LNG industry.

Hamworthy Peabody Combustion announces the introduction of the ECOjetTM ultra-low NOx burner.
After almost three years’ of research and development, including the use of Hamworthy Peabody Combustion’s SMARTflowTM flow modeling, and the resources of Hamworthy Combustion’s world-leading Advanced Technology Center (14 test furnaces/testing burner capacities to 300 MM BTU/hr), the ECOjetTM evolved, offering ultra-low emissions. Every aspect of the burner from air entry to gas and oil nozzles to swirler was strategically designed, developed and tested using a full size burner.
Ignition is achieved using the highly reliable, self-cleaning, and low maintenance Chentronics’ (a Hamworthy Combustion Group company) High Energy Direct Spark Ignitor. This state-of-the-art burst mode ignition with flashing indicator allows the operator to observe the ignitor condition during operation. This also eliminates the need for an ignitor fuel train. Gas-Electric ignitors are also available firing a wide variety if gases including natural gas, propane and coke oven gas.
Easy to Install, Easy to Operate, Easy to Maintain
•Ultra Low NOx on a full range of gaseous fuels (natural gas, propane, refinery gas, landfill gas, off gasses).
•Staged gas design provides extremely stable flames, up to 20:1 burner turndown, hot standby, available continuous pilot, and precise furnace warm-up.
•Low NOx on all liquid fuels (No. 2 through No. 6 fuel oil, ultra-heavy fuels such as pitch and bitumen).
•Applicable to package, industrial, and utility boilers ranging from single to multi-burner wall-fired, Turbo, and other boiler types.
•NOx levels <30 ppm without FGR
•Ultra-Low NOx (<10 ppm) with less FGR than other burners, greater efficiency, & lower CO2 footprint.
•Burner ramp rates not limited by speed.
•Does not require complicated control systems.
•Reliable and virtually maintenance-free, self-cleaning High Energy Spark Ignition.
•Does not require special fuel or combustion air filtration or straining.
•Capacities to 400 MM BTU/hr.

In recent years, gas plants have become increasingly larger in size (more than 3.5 MMkg/hr), with a consequent increase in their required flaring capacity. At the same time there is the requirement to have smokeless flaring, both at very low flow rates and at the total design flow rate capacity. This, in conjunction with increasingly more stringent pollution regulations, have presented new process and design problems that have been addressed and resolved by using an elevated staged flare system, developed by Hamworthy Combustion Group.
Hamworthy Combustion Group have a uniquely successful track record of supply of this new flare concept, developed in the last five years and now recognised as a product leader.
Staged flares are fed from a manifold that distributes the flow, by means of automatic on/off butterfly valves located at the base of the flare stacks, to individual flare stacks, each one equipped with a flare tip.
The first stage is open directly to atmosphere and is fitted with a dynamic dedicated “Gaseel” type seal, ensuring a smokeless flame for the maximum continuous operational flaring rate.
The other stages are fitted with staging valves and dedicated safety emergency devices (rupture disc-pins), and consist of multi-branch sonic type flare tips.
The number of flares in operation is proportional to the relief gas flow.
The total stream is segregated into different flares, with a reduction in the diameter of each flare tip.
The first stage flare tip is fitted with steam facilities to ensure smokeless flame.
Steam flow control is performed using the Hamworthy Combustion “Flarscan” system.
For safety and modularisation reasons, each stage, and relevant flare tip has been designed to address the additional flaring rate in the event of a staging valve failure.
The size of the tip on the first stage has been designed to limit the gas exit velocity to 0.2 Mach at smokeless flow rate, and to 0.5 Mach at maximum flow in order to avoid vibrations.
Average low flame emissivity.
Lower heat radiation at grade.
Reduced gas dispersion at grade.
Reduced header, sub-headers, risers and valves size, and hence lower cost.
The main flare sub-headers and flare risers have been sized for a maximum velocity of 0.5 Mach to limit the pressure drop across the valves and to attenuate the noise of the whole system.
Analysis to identify the best configuration for a flare capable of managing very large flaring rates from a single header confirms that the solution of an elevated staged flare has the advantages of a) limiting size of the flare tips without introducing flame stability issues; b) distribution of the steam to the first stage, which will address other emergency scenarios characterised by lower flow rate; c) guaranteeing a longer life cycle for the flare tips which would normally be closed and require continuous purging.
These factors, in conjunction with the fact that the design flaring rates are related to emergency scenarios that are very unlikely to occur have allowed the designers to set the height of the flares at 130m allowing for a reasonable, reliable, and cost effective solution.

World First: Hamworthy Combustion
successfully fire GCU in Korea
Latest News:
First boiloff gas firing of a Hamworthy Combustion gas combustion unit
21st August 2007
Components of the HC's test rig demonstration GCU arriving at the Poole research centre for assembly
The first boiloff gas firing of a shipboard Hamworthy Combustion Engineering (HC) AMOxsafe gas combustion unit (GCU) was achieved on 21 August 2007 as part of gas trials on the 216,000m3 Al Qattara prior to delivery of the vessel by shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) in the coming weeks.
Al Qattara is one of two so-called Q-flex size LNG ships that HHI is building for OSG. Samsung Heavy industries is building two similar-sized ships for the same owner. HC has provided the GCUs for all four of the OSG newbuildings. The OSG ships, along with four 210,000m3 Q-flex ships that Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering is building for Pronav, will form an eight-vessel fleet for service in the carriage of LNG over a period of 25 years from the new Qatargas II Train 4 liquefaction plant at Ras Laffan to the South Hook LNG import terminal at Milford Haven in the UK. The three shipyards are due to deliver all eight Q-flex ships between October 2007 and January 2008.
Qatar Gas Transport Company (Nakilat) has an ownership stake in all eight vessels and they are the largest LNG ships ever built. The choice of a twin slow-speed diesel engine propulsion system for each of the ships, in combination of an onboard reliquefaction plant to treat cargo boiloff gas (BOG), necessitates the provision of a GCU for each ship. This device enables cargo BOG to be burned should the reliquefaction plant be inoperable for any reason.
HC reports that the gas firing of the AMOxsafe GCU onboard Al Qattara was achieved at the first attempt, under automatic control, during tank cooling down procedures at the Incheon LNG import terminal. The gas firing was achieved under "free flow" conditions, without any BOG compressors in operation.
“We were able to apply over 40 years experience with incinerators and air heaters in the seamless development of the vertical AMOxsafe GCU for the marine market,” states Richard Price, sales director for Hamworthy Combustion. “AMOxsafe is the world's only GCU which has been tested up to 5.6 tonnes/hour (t/h) at full load; this has been done at our UK research centre in Poole.
“We utilised our experience with burner equipment on steam-propelled LNGCs, our understanding of the cyclical nature of LNG boil-off rates and our involvement with land-based equipment in the development of the all-metal AMOxsafe GCU. The solution dispenses with the maintenance-unfriendly refractory requirement and eliminates objects that could be prone to failure from the flame path.”

ECOjet™ Technology + SMARTflow™ Modeling
Makes a Difficult Application Look Easy
The Challenge: A major petroleum refinery in Texas wanted to convert their 400,000 PPH Riley Turbo-Furnace CO boiler to a power boiler. This included new ultra-low NOx burners firing Refinery Gas.
Other burner manufactures wanted to make major furnace wall modifications to accommodate their burners, as the Turbo-Furnace design has opposed burners firing at a downward angle into the furnace.
Our Success: We fully met the client’s needs, without re-design of the furnace walls. Actual firing results of the burners “out of the box,” with minimum burner start-up time (less than one week), confirmed the design.
Why we succeeded: Hamworthy Peabody Combustion succeeded because of our unique combination of:
− Supplying four ECOjetTM Ultra-low NOx burners, including Flue Gas
Recirculation and Steam Injection, firing Refinery Gas (30%
Hydrogen, 30% Heavies). This is an enhancement of the APR® burner design.
− STABLEflame technology
− SMARTflowTM air-flow modeling studies
− Previous successful track record of retrofitting burners to similar boilers. This includes a Florida
utility company’s 600,000 PPH Turbo-Furnace boiler equipped with ten APR® burners that ran
successfully for 20 years.
Hamworthy Peabody Combustion showed the customer, and gave him confidence, that we could meet the
requirements with just a burner retrofit.

Hamworthy Peabody Combustion announces the completion of their new SMARTflowTM Technology Center at their Shelton, Connecticut location. The 1,000 square foot facility has been utilized for new product development, analysis of new installations, and improvements of existing applications for end-users.
The most common application of flow modeling is combustion air flow. Burner design and performance is always based on three assumptions; flow modeling assures that what actually takes place will correspond to these assumptions:
• Each burner (in multi-burner systems) gets equal amounts of air flow.
• Air enters the burner evenly around the periphery of the burner.
• Air enters the burner radially, that is, with no tangential components.
• Eliminate vibration
• Reduce emissions
• Increase turndown
• Increase capacity
Based on SMARTflowTM flow modeling analysis, strategically placed baffles and diverters can be designed to avoid in advance, or solve existing, problems resulting from these assumptions not holding true.
• Reduce CO2 footprint
• Reduce Excess Air/Increase Efficiency
• Decrease power utilization costs: fan power and static requirements
• Reduce maintenance costs due to vibration, flame impingement, and incomplete combustion
• Multi-Burner Turbo-Furnace
• Multi-Burner Front-Fired
• Tangentially-Fired
Applications analyzed include:
• Single-Burner Package
• Air Heaters
• Fluid-Bed Boilers
In addition to combustion air flow, modeling is useful in analyzing flue gas recirculation systems, secondary air systems, coal pipe and fuel distribution systems, stack modeling, etc.

The Ground Flares respond to a demanding market where flaring is needed with hidden flames. November 2009 saw Hamworthy Combustion cementing its status as a first class world leader in the market of the Multipoint Ground Flares (Ground Flares for enormous gas flowrates). Having engineered, manufactured, supplied and commissioned this project, which burns up to 750 tons/h of gases ranging from -142 to 180 °C, installed at Cabiúnas Station Macaé, (200 km from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil) and whose windshield fence covers a burner area of more than 4000 square meters, Hamworthy Combustion demonstrated once again its leadership in supplying of safe and reliable equipment.
The contract was executed with a combined team from our Hamworthy Combustion Brazilian and Italian Offices, with overall management by Hamworthy Combustion Italy over a period of more than 18 months. The project was challenging, due to many critical technical aspects, involving expertise of Process, Mechanical and Instruments & Control teams, all being combined for the successful outcome.
Definition of combustion stages, CFD validation and checking of resulting dispersion (GLC) in the surrounding area, firing tests (including even testing of a complete scale flare), 3D Design were just some of the milestones which Hamworthy Combustion successfully executed.
An innovative non-standard structural solution for the windshield fence (including parts in concrete) was studied in order to maximise local content, thus meeting the needs of the End User.
From initial design enquiry to after-sales services, teams of dedicated specialists are focused on continuing Hamworthy Combustion’s commitment and tradition of meeting the safety and efficiency challenges of the Multipoint Ground Flares market up to the biggest sizes, of which this Multipoint Ground Flare is a fantastic example.
