Blue Flaring
Blue Flaring is a complete combustion solution developed by naTran in partnership with the company MGES. The Blue Torch fully complies with the new regulation (in force since August 4, 2024). It was developed in close collaboration with users, ensuring optimal ergonomics with no CH₄ emissions into the atmosphere.
H₂ Use: This torch has also been designed to burn hydrogen, ensuring long-term usability.

Operators needed
0
Release of methane
✓ Flaring: 2000 (n)m3/h for one burner and 8000 (n)m3/h for 4 burners
✓ Normal operating range: less or equal to 16 bars
✓ Upstream Pressure: The upstream pressure can reach up to 100 bars thanks to a Lamination Skid
✓ Transportability: Easy to move, handle and change
✓ Characteristics: Almost invisible and 5 to 11 dB lower than classical flaring despite of a flow rate 3 times higher, less stressful
✓ Compatible with hydrogen:

Different modes of use?
Can a vacuum pump be combined to degas the pipeline?
Yes, we can combine a vacuum pump. It helps accelerate the end of the flaring process until the line is put into air.Yes, we can combine a vacuum pump. It helps accelerate the end of the flaring process until the line is put into air.
What synergies exist between the Blue Flare and Gas Booster technologies?
At the end of a gas transfer operation, the decompression time with a Gas Booster increases considerably. For the final bars, the use of a Blue Flare provides a valuable time saving.At the end of a gas transfer operation, the decompression time with a Gas Booster increases considerably.

Example of flaring on the Givisiez site: Combination of a vacuum pump with Blue Flare
During a Blue Flare operation carried out by naTran for Gaznat on the Givisiez site, the objective was to empty the gas from a section of the network under maintenance while optimizing the efficiency of the operation.
✓ Faster air injection into the network:
Gaznat usually injects 100% air into its network before any maintenance operation. Thanks to the combination of the Blue Flare burner and the vacuum pump, the time required to inject air into the pipeline after flaring was drastically reduced. An operation that usually took two days was completed in just two hours, representing a significant step forward in terms of efficiency and optimization of interventions.
This innovation illustrates naTran’s commitment to developing high-performance solutions tailored to the challenges faced by gas operators.
