Burner flare tip

Abstract

Provided is a flare tip. The flare tip, according to one embodiment, includes a flare tip enclosure. The flare tip, according to this embodiment, additionally includes two or more flare tip arms extending from the flare tip enclosure, wherein the two are more flare tip arms are largely equidistance from one another, and two or more flare tip orifices located in each of the two or more flare tip arms.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A flare tip, comprising:
 a flare tip enclosure;   two or more flare tip arms extending from the flare tip enclosure, wherein the two are more flare tip arms are largely equidistance from one another; and   two or more flare tip orifices located in each of the two or more flare tip arms.   
     
     
         2 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the two are more flare tip arms are substantially equidistance from one another. 
     
     
         3 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the two are more flare tip orifices are ideally equidistance from one another. 
     
     
         4 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the two are more flare tip arms range from about three to about six flare tip arms. 
     
     
         5 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the two are more flare tip arms are separated into a proximate group and a distal group. 
     
     
         6 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the proximate group includes two or more flare tip orifices and the distal group includes two or more flare tip offices. 
     
     
         7 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the two or more orifices in the proximate group or the two or more orifices in the distal group are substantially vertically positioned. 
     
     
         8 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the other of the two or more orifices in the distal group or the two or more orifices in the proximate group are radially offset by an angle (θ) from perfectly vertical. 
     
     
         9 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the two or more orifices in the proximate group are substantially vertically positioned, and the two or more orifices in the distal group are radially offset by the angle (θ). 
     
     
         10 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 1 , wherein diameters of the two or more orifices vary as they move away from the flare tip enclosure. 
     
     
         11 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the diameters of the two or more orifices increase as they move away from the flare tip enclosure. 
     
     
         12 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 11 , wherein the diameters of the two or more orifices incrementally increase as they move away from the flare tip enclosure. 
     
     
         13 . The flare tip as recited in  claim 11 , wherein the diameters of the two or more orifices incrementally increase as part of groups as they move away from the flare tip enclosure. 
     
     
         14 . A burner assembly, comprising:
 a cylinder; and   a flare tip located within the cylinder, the flare tip including:
 a flare tip enclosure; 
 two or more flare tip arms extending from the flare tip enclosure, wherein the two are more flare tip arms are largely equidistance from one another; and 
 two or more flare tip orifices located in each of the two or more flare tip arms. 
   
     
     
         15 . The burner assembly as recited in  claim 14 , further including a trailer, wherein the cylinder and flare tip are rotatably positioned on the trailer to move from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position. 
     
     
         16 . The burner assembly as recited in  claim 15 , wherein an electric or hydraulic cylinder moves the cylinder and flare tip from the substantially horizontal position to the substantially vertical position. 
     
     
         17 . The burner assembly as recited in  claim 14 , further including openings located proximate a bottom surface of the cylinder. 
     
     
         18 . The burner assembly as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the openings are adjustable. 
     
     
         19 . The burner assembly as recited in  claim 18 , wherein the openings are manually adjustable. 
     
     
         20 . The burner assembly as recited in  claim 18 , wherein the openings are automatically adjustable based upon a signal from a control system.
