BURNER ASSEMBLY FOR COMBUSTION OF OIL

摘要

A burner assembly for the combustion of crude oil such as often escapes from offshore wells. The assembly includes means for breaking the oil into small droplets to facilitate the combustion thereof and structure adjacent the discharge ports for preserving ignition of the burning oil. A supply of air serves to direct the flame and the heat of combustion away from the apparatus and personnel. The assembly includes structure which develops a screen of water for the absorption of heat and the protection of the burner assembly and other elements located upstream of the combustion zone.
