An improved flare gas combustion apparatus comprising a plurality of linear burners connected to plural flare gas conduits, each burner having an elongate tubular member with a plurality of aligned apertures and one of the flare gas conduits connected in fluid communication with the tubular members. A first flare gas conduit is maintained open during operation and the remaining flare gas conduits are selectively and sequentially opened in response to flow indicating devices disposed in a connected flare gas header so that the continuously open flare gas conduit is joined in sequence by the other flare gas conduits as predetermined flow rate values are reached in the flare gas header. For safety purposes a pressure indicating device disposed in the flare gas header is provided to simultaneously open all of the flare gas conduits for flare gas discharge to all of the linear burners when the pressure in the flare gas header reaches a predetermined value.
