  • Publication number: 20240068661
    Abstract: Flare control with vent gas recovery is disclosed. Vent gas is recovered for end use (e.g., process gas, fuel gas, etc.) while a flare is in a standby state. Upon detection of a flare event that causes vent gas to flow to the flare, the flare is changed from the standby state to an active state. The flare is controlled for efficient combustion of vent gas that flows to the flare during the flare event. Upon detection of a subsidence of the flare event, the flare is changed from the active state to the standby state. The flare can remain in standby until another flare event is detected. The flare event is detected when one or more of the disclosed flare activation conditions are detected, and subsidence of the flare event is detected when the flare deactivation conditions are detected.

  • Publication number: 20240068666
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a system and method for bimodal air control in a kettle-style grill are configured to be detachably mounted to the exterior of a kettle-styled grill such as, but not limited to, a Weber® charcoal grill. When mounted to the kettle-styled grill, a plenum-like component directs air flows to the interior of the grill's kettle via the kettle's lower body damper holes. A manually adjustable intake damper in the plenum component allows, restricts, or prevents a drawn ambient air flow into the plenum component. Separately, a forced air flow generated by a fan may also be provided into the plenum component. Adjustment of the intake damper may also adjust damper blades inside the grill's kettle. Ash that falls out of the kettle's damper holes falls through the plenum component and is captured in an ash receptacle that is removably mounted to the plenum component.
