An apparatus and method that enables a single person to remove and replace a part, for example a burner housing, from an industrial piece of equipment such as oilfield equipment. A base of the apparatus attaches, either removeably or permanently, to a portion of the equipment such as an exhaust stack, that is above the part. The apparatus has a plurality of arms which swing out from the base, including a beam which is rotated to be aligned with the part. Straps attached to the beam are tightened around the part, and the arms are then extended to remove the part from the equipment.

Burner housing removal device

An electronically controlled burner management system for oilfield separators. The system includes an autonomous standing pilot spark ignition that includes a self-aligning clamp that holds the igniter to the burner nozzle. The self-aligning clamp enables rapid installation and removal, lowering the total cost of ownership. The autonomous spark ignition system incorporates temperature sensors to determine when the standing pilot needs to be relit, and can shut off the gas or other fuel flow to the standing pilot and the main burner when the pilot is not lit. The system increases oil and gas production from the well, reduces fugitive emissions of unburned gas, and improves oilfield worker safety. When installed or retrofitted into an existing oilfield separator, the original burner control components are left in place, allowing the user to revert to traditional operation in case of failure of any electronic component of the present system.
