Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017221005A1] A flare stack for use in burning off the gas products produced by a pyrolysis system comprises ariser pipe having an inlet for the entry of gas and an outlet from the exit of gas that is located at an upper end of the pipe, and a plurality of flare tips, each comprising a hollow body in fluid communication with the upper end of the riser pipe. The flare tips are each provided with a mechanical non-return valve that is normally closed and which opens when the pressure of the gas flowing along the pipe exceeds a defined level. The invention provides a stack with a high turn down ratio.
