860 FLARE SKID STANDARD OPERATING PROCEEDURE – UNPACK AND RAISE 1. Skid will be in packed position (Figure 2). Figure 2 – Packed Position 2. Swing outriggers outward from the skid until locking pin can be inserted. (Figure 3) Outriggers should be 135° from closed position. - Page 8 860 FLARE SKID 5. Remove the bolt that secures the lower stack to the frame. (Figure 4) Figure 4 – Bolt Location 6. Raise the stack approximately 6”. 7. Swing middle and upper sections of the stack out together. Bolt flanges together.

860 FLARE SKID TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE In the event of an ignitor malfunction while gas is being released into the tube, shut off gas supply and wait 5 minutes for any trapped gas to purge. Gas build-up can cause damage to the unit, injury or death if it is ignited. Once the purge is complete, turn on gas and go through the basic operational procedures outlined in “Standard Operating... -
Page 14: Maintenance Requirements
860 FLARE SKID MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS NOTICE: The flare skid and all components should be completely expected prior to each use. Skid should be inspected for cracks, damage and wear and tear prior to being put into service. DISCONNECT all electrical and gas supply sources prior to servicing unit. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death from electrical shock. - Page 15 860 FLARE SKID Flare trailer stacks to conform to 40 CFR-60.18 (c)(2) Flares shall be operated with a flame present at all times, as determined by the methods specified in paragraph (f).

Based on these EPA guidelines / regulations, RDI 640/660 Flares are 98% combustion efficient within the range: 1.017 MMSFCD – 6.786 MMSFCD Flow rates above or below these values are beyond EPA regulations and may not be at an adequate combustion efficiency.
