Gas-Assist Flares

Gas-assisted flares are comprised of two risers (waste gas and assist gas) and an assist gas distribution ring at the tip that provides turbulence with combustion air and waste gas at the flare tip. Upon mixing, the increased turbulence in the waste gas stream, improves combustion efficiency and smokeless performance. These flares generally dispose of heavier waste gases which have a greater tendency to smoke and are favored in applications where electrical utilities are limited.
