LOW EMISSION MODULAR FLARE STACK

Abstract:

A low emissions modular flare stack includes a plurality of flare stack burner modules, each including a main fuel source configured to selectively deliver a main fuel stream for dilution by a flow of combustion air, a main igniter configured to cause ignition of the main fuel stream emitted from the main fuel source, a distal flame holder configured to hold a combustion reaction supported by the main fuel stream when the distal flame holder is at or above a predetermined temperature, and a pre-heating apparatus configured to pre-heat the distal flame holder to the predetermined temperature. The low emissions modular flare stack includes a common combustion air source configured to provide combustion air to each of the plurality of flare stack burner modules, and a wall encircling all of the plurality of flare stack burner modules, the wall being configured to laterally contain combustion products corresponding to all of the plurality of flare stack burner modules.
