Abstract
Gas flares configured to mix and burn multiple gasses are disclosed. According to one aspect, a gas flare head includes a first and second conduit one inside the other to form an interior region between the conduits. The interior region between the conduits is partitioned into multiple channels by a dividing structure. Each channel is configured to route a gas from a source to a mixing chamber where the gasses are mixed and burned.
Claims20
A gas flare head, comprising:
- a first conduit having a wall and a first conduit open end;
- and
- a second conduit disposed at least partially within the first conduit to form an interior region, the second conduit having a second conduit open end recessed within the first conduit so that the wall and the first conduit open end extend beyond the second conduit open end to form a mixing chamber between the first conduit open end and the second conduit open end, an interior of the second conduit being configured to channel a mixing fluid to the mixing chamber through the second conduit open end;
- and
- at least one divider positioned in the interior region between the first and second conduits to divide the interior region into at least a first channel and a second channel, the first channel being configured to route a first gas to the mixing chamber and the second channel being configured to route a second gas to the mixing chamber.

A method of manufacture of a gas flare head, the method comprising:
- positioning a dividing structure on a first length of a first pipe, the dividing structure having at least two fins adjoined to a base at one end of the fins, the base configured to surround the first pipe, the dividing structure being positioned on the first length of the first pipe so that each fin extends from the base to a point in proximity to an open end of the first pipe;
- and
- positioning a second pipe over at least a part of the first pipe and over at least the fins of the dividing structure to form at least two channels, each channel bounded by at least two fins, by the base, and by walls of the first and second pipes, the second pipe having a second length at least as long as a distance from the base to the open end of the first pipe.
A gas flare head, comprising:
- an outer pipe;
- an inner pipe being at least partially disposed within the outer pipe, the inner pipe having an inner pipe open end that is recessed within the outer pipe to form a mixing chamber that extends at least from the inner pipe open end to an outer pipe open end, the inner pipe configured to route a fluid to the mixing chamber;
- and
- a partitioning structure to partition a region between the inner pipe and the outer pipe into channels, each channel configured by the partitioning structure to route a gas from a different source to the mixing chamber.
