Flare's Pilot Flame Out - Technical Analysis
Why pilot was also extinguished? Below is simplfied causation list for the pilot flame out:
Potential
envelopment
Potential
envelopment by inert
which cause pilot
flame out
Potential
envelopment
270 degree
300 degree
Possible Root Cause:
Pilot is susceptible for flame out by
INERT envelopment which cannot
maintain sustainable pilot flare during
high INERT composition in the flare
main stream especially in relatively low
rate of flaring in low wind speed
