ABSTRACT:
A flame extinguishing apparatus cooperates with a flare boom conductor discharge port to vent a stream of combustible gas into the atmosphere. The apparatus includes a nozzle, positioned in and adjacent to the flare boom conductor gas discharge port, directing a shaped stream of a flame impeding fluid toward the discharge port. The fluid stream thus forms a gas penetrable quasi-barrier which extinguishes the flame and concurrently dilutes the vent gas.
