Abstract

An apparatus and method for minimizing smoke formation in the operation of a flaring stack. The apparatus includes a generally annular gas deflector having an outer surface for deflecting the waste gas therealong. A plurality of lobes extend radially from the deflector to provide improved mixing between the waste gas, steam, and combustion air during combustion to reduce smoke formation.
