Abstract

Systems and methods herein provide retractable and extendable portable ignitors, ignitor systems, and associated methods for lighting industrial fired equipment. In an embodiment, an ignitor includes a main body including a first body portion movable in a longitudinal direction relative to a second body portion so as to extend or retract to a target operating length, thereby to define an adjustable main body. The ignitor includes a flow path extending through the adjustable main body, a fluid outlet, and a fluid inlet. The fluid inlet is configured to receive and direct a fuel flow through the flow path and to the fluid outlet. The ignitor includes a sparking assembly connected to the adjustable main body proximate the fluid outlet to provide an ignition spark to the fuel flow when passing through the flow path, thereby to facilitate lighting industrial fired equipment via a fueled flame maintained proximate the fluid outlet.
