High-energy ignition system for reliable ignition of flares and high-duty combustion systems

Overview

Our High-Energy Ignition (HEI) systems set the benchmark for dependable industrial ignition. Using advanced capacitor-discharge technology, each unit delivers a powerful, high-current spark that cuts through contaminants, moisture, and harsh conditions. Whether for gaseous, liquid, or heavy, contaminated fuels, HEI ensures fast, repeatable ignition, keeping operations compliant, safe, and running without interruption.
