Abstract
Combustion in offshore flares can diminish pollutants released to the environment but at the same time affects negatively the working areas due to the safety requirements on the platform. For this reason, the subject of this work is to perform an experimental study of a small scale multi-jet flare with turbulent non-premixed flames having two burners placed side-by-side to understand the flame length by varying fuel and diluent flowrates, and distance between burners. Experimental measurements for multi-jet configuration indicates that the flame length is maximum when flames are completely merged and slowly decreases with the separation distance and presents its minimum value when the single jet configuration is reached for S/d is equal to 10.
