Abstract
A portable flaring apparatus is disclosed. The flaring apparatus comprises a stack comprising multiple segments of varying diameters, which may be configured to be telescoped for transport. The flaring apparatus further comprises one or more inlets for the intake of gas, an arrester for suppressing flames and detonation within the flaring system, and a plurality of combustion tips for flaring gas. The components of the flaring apparatus may be affixed to a trailer platform for portability.
Claims16
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one inlet configured for intake of gas;
- a stack having a perimeter;
- an arrester disposed radially outside the perimeter of said stack;
- a manifold coupled to said arrester comprising a plurality of connections, each connection associated with at least one valve and with at least one joiner, and each connection connected to at least one combustion tip, said manifold disposed radially outside the perimeter of said stack;
- and
- a plurality of combustion tips comprising the combustion tips connected to said plurality of connectors disposed within the perimeter of said stack;
- wherein each valve is configured to allow a connection associated with said valve to be independently opened and closed to control a flaring rate;
- and
- wherein said stack comprises:
- a first segment comprising:
- a first hollow polygonal shaft;
- and
- a first hollow cylindrical shaft surrounded entirely by said first hollow polygonal shaft;
- wherein said first hollow polygonal shaft has a first upper polygonal edge, and said first hollow cylindrical shaft has a first circular upper edge that is horizontally aligned with said first upper polygonal edge;
- and
- a second segment comprising:
- a second hollow polygonal shaft of smaller width than said first hollow polygonal shaft;
- and
- a second hollow cylindrical shaft of smaller diameter than said first hollow cylindrical shaft surrounded entirely by said second hollow polygonal shaft;
- wherein said second hollow polygonal shaft has a second upper polygonal edge, and said second hollow cylindrical shaft has a second circular upper edge that is horizontally aligned with said second upper polygonal edge.
