Spitfire Flare Pilot
Category: Flare Pilots
The “Spitfire“ flare pilot with Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. patented “Micro Flame Front Ignition“ and “Plasma Resonance Flame Detection“ adds a cost effective, safe reliable system for any flare application. Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. has designed a state of the art flare pilot that has been proven effective in the most adverse conditions for flares.
Description
The “Spitfire“ flare pilot is available in a 9 or 12 foot length depending on mounting and flame lick requirements. The “Spitfire“ flare pilot comes standard with Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. patented “Micro Flame Front Ignition“ and“Plasma Resonance Flame Detection“and can be built to have a single (1) ordual (2) by-pass configuration. Also available on the “Spitfire“ flare pilot is a dual thermowell and flame front generator.
This pilot was designed with high temperatures and adverse environments in mind which is why we upgraded this pilot with a thick walled open throat nozzle to add even more life to the “Spitfire” flare pilot. The “Spitfire” flare pilot can be fitted witha “Spitfire” specific “Inverted Nozzle“ for a single (1) by-pass configuration. The internal nozzle cavity of both nozzles were engineered to provide a firmly rooted and highly protected flame configuration thus allowing proven pilot flame stability even when subjected to the most extreme weather elements.
The “Spitfire” flare pilot was designed to be a self-aspirating pilot but in the most adverse environments where contaminants and hurricane force winds are an issue the “Hybrid Purge“ air aspirating system can be utilized. By adding a clean pressurized air source to the “Spitfire“ flare pilot it can operate anywhere thus adding to the safety and reliability of the pilot.

Our Patented Technologies
Flame Detection
Plasma Resonance is a Stackmatch Patented method of flame detection specifically designed for instantaneous pilot flame recognition and when unavoidable, to fail in the fail safe condition.
Micro Flame Front Ignition
Stackmatch Pilots operate with our patented Micro Flame Front Ignition technology that is built with an ignition tube located inside the pilot body. This tube is allowed to fill with the same volatile fuel normally processed through the pilot body.
Cool Tip
With top and bottom diversion plates, it’s designed to allow the spent nozzle gas to continuously clean the pilot nozzle. As the spent gas escapes to atmosphere, this downward jetting action further protects the nozzle cavity from contamination.
