Factory Fires: Not an Accident, but a Crucial Safety System!

• Flare stacks act as safety valves, releasing excess gas pressure to prevent explosions, similar to a pressure cooker.
• They burn toxic gases, converting harmful components into less dangerous carbon dioxide and water vapor, protecting public health.
• Environmentally, flaring methane (25x worse than CO2) converts it to less harmful CO2, reducing global warming impact.
• Essential for emergency shutdowns, plant startups, and maintenance, safely disposing of gases from pipelines.
• A constant 'pilot light' ensures immediate ignition of released gases, making the system always ready.

Why It Matters: Factory chimney fires are vital safety systems, preventing accidents and protecting health and environment.
