Abstract
A flaring boom assembly for a flaring system of a rig is disclosed. The flaring boom assembly includes a tray device comprising an open top, a slanted bottom, and an outlet, and a telescoping mechanism mechanically coupled to the tray device and configured to adjust a relative position of the tray device with respect to a burning head of the flaring system based on a flaring intensity of the flaring system. The spills of the flaring system fall through the open top onto the slanted bottom and move along the slanted bottom toward the outlet based on a gravitational force.

A flaring boom assembly for a flaring system of a rig, comprising:
- a tray device comprising an open top, a slanted bottom, and an outlet;
- and
- a telescoping mechanism mechanically coupled to the tray device and configured to adjust a relative position of the tray device with respect to a burning head of the flaring system based on a flaring intensity of the flaring system,
- wherein spills of the flaring system fall through the open top onto the slanted bottom and move along the slanted bottom toward the outlet based on a gravitational force.
The flaring boom assembly of claim 3,
- wherein the slanted bottom has a trapezoidal shape with a shorter base that abuts the outlet.
A system, comprising:
- a rig;
- a flaring system of the rig;
- and
- a flaring boom assembly, comprising:
- a tray device comprising an open top, a slanted bottom, and an outlet;
- and
- a telescoping mechanism mechanically coupled to the tray device and configured to adjust a relative position of the tray device with respect to a burning head of the flaring system based on a flaring intensity of the flaring system,
- wherein spills of the flaring system fall through the open top onto the slanted bottom and move along the slanted bottom toward the outlet based on a gravitational force.
A tray device, comprising:
- an open top, a slanted bottom, and an outlet,
- wherein the tray device is configured to allow spills of a flaring system to fall through the open top onto the slanted bottom and move along the slanted bottom toward the outlet based on a gravitational force.
