Abstract

A flre for burning low pressure waste gas wherein kinetic energy is imparted to the gas in a device having a central conduit for the low pressure waste gas and a plurality of radial arms surrounding the central conduit to which are supplied high pressure fluids at a steep upward angle to impart time-turbulence and temperature for creating `stand-up` flare burning substantially unaffected by wind.
