ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus is provided for burning hydrocarbon-containing matter as a result of, for example, testing operations on a subterranean well wherein the hydrocarbon-containing matter is atomized and sprayed outwardly from a ring of nozzles whose axes define an outwardly flaring cone. Preferably, the atomization of the hydrocarbon-containing matter in the nozzles is accomplished by introducing pressurized air and combustible gases at a shear angle of approximately 60.degree.. Pressurized water is issued as a conical spray from an orifice located within the ring of orifices for the hydrocarbon-containing matter so as to direct a conical spray of atomized water within the cone of flame resulting from the combustion of the atomized hydrocarbon-containing matter, thereby insuring a maximum conversion of smoke producing elements in the flame to relatively smoke abating hydrocarbons. The included angle of the water spary cone is greater than that of the cone defined by the nozzles for the hydrocarbon-containing matter to insure the intersection of the water spray with the interior of the flame cone at a distance spaced from approximately two to six feet beyond the end face of the nozzle.
