Abstract
A flare burner for burning combustible waste gases with a manifold, at least two arms, and a plurality of outlets disposed on the plurality of arms. The arms may be perpendicular to the manifold. The arms may also extend outwardly from the manifold. The arms may extend into annuli, to produce oppositely flowing exit gas. A curved dispersing surface may be disposed above the manifold. The arms may comprise a curvilinear shape or include both a linear and a curvilinear portion. The arms are unequal in length and may curve in an opposite direction from each other. The outlets are configured and spaced such that flame is short relative to size of the flare burner.
Claims18
An arrangement of flare burners comprising:
- a first plurality of flare burners, each flare burner from the first plurality comprising:
- a manifold comprising an inlet, two or more arms, and a plurality of outlets, the inlet configured to be secured to a conduit for combustible waste gases, and the plurality of outlets disposed on a plurality of arms such that oxygen may mix with combustible waste gases exiting the outlets,
- wherein a first arm is curved in one direction has a plurality of walls positioned around said arm and is longer than a second arm that is curved in an opposite direction away from said first arm, and
- a second plurality of flare burners, each flare burner from the second plurality comprising:
- a manifold comprising an inlet, two or more arms, and a plurality of outlets, the inlet configured to be secured to a conduit for combustible waste gases, and the plurality of outlets disposed on a plurality of arms such that oxygen may mix with combustible waste gases exiting the outlets,
- wherein a first arm is curved in one direction has a plurality of walls positioned around said arm and is longer than a second arm that is curved in an opposite direction away from said first arm, and
- wherein the second arms of the burners of the first plurality extend towards the burners of the second plurality and wherein the second arms of burners of the second plurality extend towards the burners of the first plurality.
An arrangement of flare burners comprising:
- a plurality of flare burners, each flare burner from the plurality of flare burners comprising:
- a manifold comprising an inlet, two or more arms, and a plurality of outlets, the inlet configured to be secured to a conduit for combustible waste gases, and the plurality of outlets disposed on a plurality of arms such that oxygen may mix with combustible waste gases exiting the outlets,
- wherein a first arm is curved in one direction has a plurality of walls positioned around said arm and is longer than a second arm that is curved in an opposite direction away from said first arm, and
- wherein the burners are arranged such that the first arm of one burner extends in one direction and the first arm of an adjacent burner extends in an opposite direction.
