Method and burner apparatus for flaring inert vitiated waste gases
This paper discusses burner apparatus for flaring waste gases. It comprises a first tubular member for discharging waste gases into the atmosphere having an inlet end and a discharge end; a second tubular member positioned around at least the discharge end portion of the first tubular member whereby a discharge space is provided between the first and second tubular members around the adjacent the discharge end of the first tubular member; burner means disposed within the discharge space around and adjacent the discharge end of the first tubular member for discharging and igniting fuel gas therein; fuel gas conduit means sealingly connected to the burner means for connecting the burner means to a source of fuel gas; and combustion air conduit means sealingly connected to the discharge space for connecting the space to a source of combustion air whereby combustion air supplied to the discharge space. It is mixed with fuel gas supplied to and discharged from the burner means. The mixture is ignited, discharged from the discharge space and burned in a stable envelope around waste gases discharged from the first tubular member, and a portion of the waste gases is heated to the ignition temperature thereof, ignited and burned thereby providing heat and ignition to the remaining waste gases.
