Apparatus and method to add kinetic energy to a low pressure waste gas flare burner |
(57) A flare for burning low pressure waste gas wherein kinetic energy is imparted to
the gas in a device having a central conduitforthe low pressure waste gas and a plurality
of radial arms surrounding the central conduit to which are supplied high pressure
fluids at a steep upward angle to impart time- turbulence and temperature for creating
'stand-up' flare burning substantially unaffected by wind.
