ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for burning combustible gases contained in a mixture comprised of the combustible gases and a liquid. The apparatus comprises: a separator, having an upper end and a lower end. A first portion of the gases is directed out of the upper end and the liquid and a second portion of the gases are directed out of the lower end; an inlet; and a burner which communicates with the upper end such that the first portion contacts the burner for combustion and the combustion creates a vacuum effect which produces an air current outside of the separator from the lower end to the burner. The lower end communicates with the air current such that the second portion is drawn by the air current to the burner. The method comprises the steps of: directing the mixture into the separator and deflecting the liquid out of the lower end; directing the first portion along a first current path towards the upper end and to the burner; burning the first portion in order to produce a second current path; directing the second portion along the second current path to the burner; and burning the second portion.
