Device for extracting and burning methane

An apparatus for extracting and burning inflammable gas from landfill refuse sites, comprising,

• a support frame having a truncated triangular shape,
• a first venturi having a high pressure inlet connected to a source of compressed air,
• a low pressure inlet connected to a source of inflammable gas, and an outlet for delivering a mixture of inflammable gas and compressed air, the first venturi being supported vertically above the support frame by a horizontal support plate disposed at the top of the support frame,
• an upper support plate extending upwardly from the top of the support frame and being connected to the support frame at its distal end,
• a second venturi having a high pressure inlet connected to the outlet of the first venturi, a low pressure inlet being defined by a gap between an axially movable collar and a proximal end of an outlet for the second venturi, a distal end of the second venturi high pressure inlet extending into the proximal end of the second venturi outlet, the second venturi outlet being supported vertically above the second venturi high pressure inlet by connection to a distal end of the upper support plate,
• a burner having an inlet connected to a distal end of the second venturi outlet and being supported vertically above the second venturi outlet by connection to the distal end of the support plate.
