ZEUS

Glaciogenic Burn-In-Place flare for cold cloud seeding.

ZEUS

Burn-in-place flare

  • Aerosol-generating, glaciogenic flare for cold cloud seeding,
  • Pyrotechnic burn-in-place operation,
  • Most versatile for many different use cases,
  • Features our unique and highly effective cloud seeding reagent,
  • Safe (non-explosive) and reliable (can be stored for up to 10 years).

Application

Glaciogenic Burn-In-Place (BIP) flares are used in cold cloud seeding scenarios and are designed to be dispersed from both top and bottom seeding approaches. Depending on the application technique, Zeus Burn-In-Place (BIP) flares can be used to enhance or suppress precipitation and are commonly used for:

  • Rain enhancement and suppression
  • Snowpack enhancement and suppression
  • Hail Suppression
  • Fog and smog dispersal

Performance Benefits of ZEUS

Laboratory tests of CST flares demonstrate high yield across a wide temperature range compared to other products, as summarized in the following graph.

  • Improved Reliability – The new design provides dependable burning intensity with flexible burn-time configuration.
  • Superior Safety – CST engineers design and rigorously test our proprietary materials to virtually eliminate the risk of spontaneous explosions.
  • High Operating Altitude – Zeus Burn-In-Place (BIP) flares can be used up to an altitude of 20,000 ft, (6 km) ASL.
  • Extended Shelf-Life – The properties of Zeus Burn-In-Place (BIP) flares allow for significantly longer storage times than traditional flares.
  • Configuration Flexibility – Zeus flares can be configured to suit specific project needs while maintaining high efficiency output throughout the entire burn time.
Active particles generated at different temperatures

CST‘s new burn-in-place flares use fully combustible tubes, minimising active material loss through precipitation on the flare wall, and maximising overall effectiveness.
