With several years in the propane industry repairing and constructing bulk trucks and LP systems for Paul Akers, Inc., I decided to build a live burn system of my own design. I wanted a system that included emergency shutoffs that were manned during every evolution (no electronics to fail). With support from Paul Akers Inc., Hanna Hose Reels and several others I built my training system which includes a 500 gallon tank and Christmas tree that we still use today. They’ve both seen fire after fire since 1990 and are ready for more.
We’re currently constructing a 650 gallon “Water Injection” training prop that will allow RTE to come to your site and conduct live water injection and flaring operations. We’ll post updates as they’re available.
