Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A gas flare or flare stack is an elevated vertical stack or pipe found on oil & gas wells, oil & gas drilling rigs, natural gas well completion activities, in refineries, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and landfills used for combusting waste gas released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. In landfills, the primary purpose of this device is to combust waste methane gas which results from the decomposition of organic materials in the landfill. Recently, under the Kyoto Treaty, garbage collecting companies in some developing nations have received a carbon bonus for installing combustion devices for the methane gas produced at their landfills, preventing methane from reaching the atmosphere. After the burning, this gas is converted to heat, water and CO2, and according to the Third assessment report of the IPCC, as Methane is 23 times more powerful a greenhouse gas than CO2 the greenhouse effect is reduced in the same order.
