Performance Benefits
Laboratory tests of Cloud Seeding Technologies‘ flares regularly demonstrate significantly 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‘s new burn-in-place flares use fully combustible tubes, minimising active material loss through precipitation on the flare wall, and maximising overall effectiveness.
Additional Benefits
- 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 – CST burn-in-place flares can be used up to an altitude of 6 km.
- 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.
