Flare gas burner
This patent describes, in a tubular flare gas burner having an inlet end adapted to be mounted to a flare gas conduit and having a discharge end, the improvement whereby the burner is less susceptible to damage caused by internal and/or external burning comprising: an internal protective liner formed of refractory material attached within at least the discharge end portion of the burner whereby the internal surfaces of the burner are shielded from flame impingement and excessive heat caused by internal burning; pilot burner means positioned adjacent the discharge end of the burner including conduits extending along and adjacent the external surfaces of the burner between the discharge and inlet ends thereof; and an external protective covering formed of refractory material attached to and over at least the discharge end portion of the burner and the conduits of the pilot burner means extending therealong. In this way, the external surfaces of the burner and the conduits are substantially shielded from flame impingement and excessive heat caused by external burning and an aerodynamically improved external surface is provided on the discharge end portion of the burner. The external protective covering is comprised of relatively soft and flexible refractory material encasing the external burner surfaces and the conduits and is covered by a hard inflexible refractory material.
