Performance Benefits

Through the use of unique dual burning mode nozzle technology, Cloud Seeding Technologies‘ ejectable flares have a higher yield, across a greater temperature range, than other products currently available on the market, as summarised in the following graph.

Active particles generated at different temperatures

CST ejectable flares also use the entire flare sleeve volume, further increasing the total yield per flare.

Additional Benefits

  • Best Performance in Warm Climates – In warmer climates, CST flare performance far outstrips the competition.
  • Increased Reliability – The fundamentally new design of CST flares gives very reliable burning intensity and allows flexible burning time selection.
  • Greater Safety – The homogeneous distribution and elastic properties of CST materials virtually eliminate the risk of spontaneous explosions.
  • High Operating Altitude – There are no altitude limitations to the use of CST ejectable flares.
  • Longer Shelf-Life – The hydrophobic compounds used in CST flares exclude the presence of water vapour. This allows significantly longer storage times than flares made using traditional compounds.
  • More Flexibility – CST flares can be configured more flexibly than competing products, giving higher efficiency throughout the entire burning time.
