ABSTRACT:
An igniter for a flare stack includes a pair of probes. A hot probe has a tip end free to move in a substantially planar surface. A grounded probe has a tip end extending in at least one direction of the substantially planar surface. The hot probe also has a tip end extending in the substantially planar surface but in a different direction. Movement of the tip end of the hot probe in local wind conditions results in a constant gap being maintained between the tip ends. The pulse generator for the igniter is conventional. A system is shown for stack 90' and shorter and for stacks higher than 90'.
