Purge gas is used to prevent flare and blowdown stacks from developing flammable gas mixtures caused by the entrance of air down the stack openings. The amount of purge gas required to protect the stack from excessive air intrusion caused by wind penetration, diffusion effects, and differences in gas density. The larger of the two rates calculated should be to that required to limit air penetration due to wind, density, and diffusion effects should always be used.
