Ground flares conform to the general requirement that flaring and disposal may take place at low level.
 In populated areas ground flares are now used to burn gas without smoke and with no visible flame. This has led to the development of a range of equipment based on the furnace designs in which combustion is shielded from view thereby avoiding nuisance to neighbours.

TYPES OF GROUND FLARES

- Totally invisible flaring system

- High pressure multi tips flare

- Air induced enclosed flare

- Steamless ground flare

- Steam assisted ground flare
