Open Ground Flare systems - Hystorical review of a recent project from the concept to the commissioning, passing through R&D activities Presentation and Discussion of the Results of R&D activities as a basis for design and execution stage.

The more and more restrictive environmental laws and regulation applied in most of the projects all over the world led in the last years to the need to increase on one hand smokeless performances of assisted flares, to guarantee smokeless combustion up to Ringelmann 0, and, on the other hand to install staged enclosed ground flares or staged opened ground flare with totally hidden flames to avoid visible flames.
