CA 2465735

In the context of an oil or gas well site flare system, a safety system is provided so that in the event of a flammable gas release at the well, the safety system can be activated to extinguish the sources of ignition. Activation of the safety system does not prevent the continued venting or exiting of flare gases from the flare stack. In a system aspect, the safety system comprises a source of purge gas connected to a flare stack and actuator means. When the actuator means is actuated, a flow of purge gas commences from said source into said flare stack while allowing said flammable gases to continue to exit out said flare stack. Other system and method aspects are also provided.

Dans le contexte d'un dispositif de torche pour des sites de sites de puits de pétrole ou de gaz, un système de sécurité est fourni de façon où dans le cas d'un dégagement d'un gaz inflammable au puits, le système de sécurité peut être actionné pour éteindre les sources d'inflammation. Un actionnement du système de sécurité n'empêche pas la ventilation continue ou la sortie de gaz de torche du support de torche. Dans un aspect du système, le système de sécurité comprend une source de gaz de purge raccordée à un support de torche et à un dispositif d'actionnement. Si le dispositif d'actionnement est actionné, un écoulement de gaz de purge commence à partir de ladite source vers ledit support de torche tout en permettant aux gaz inflammables de continuer à sortir du support de torche. D'autres méthodes et d'autres aspects sont aussi fournis.
