Argo Environmental Engineering are the main agent and distributors for Vetco Gas Technology's Pellet Ignition system that is now used on a variety of facilities worldwide.

The system will ignite any flares on your flare deck or location, with a single pellet.  The pellet is launched under air pressure, from a safe area and runs through a guide pipe to the flare tips that could be anything up to 2 kilometres away.  On exiting the guide pipe,  the pellet fragments releasing  thousands of small sparks that burn for approximately 4 seconds igniting any flammable gas in the immediate area.

The system can be manually operated, or remotely actuated from a central control room.

Automated systems will light flares on demand, even on remote flare platforms up to 2 kilometres away, over land or sea!
