Abstract

An ignitor (40, 41) is provided for offshore-subsea flares in which a flare (14), floating or fixed, is provided separated from an offshore drilling platform (P) but connected by a subsea conduit or connection (13), preferably flexible, through which fuel gas is delivered to the flare (14) for pilots (28) and for ignitor gas for the pilots and which has provisions for insulated conductors for connection to control equipment for the control of the pilot gas, the ignitor gas and for the ignition of the ignitor gas and indication of operating conditions. <IMAGE>
