Safety protection. Safety interlock. Wait
It’s best not to do this; it’s too dangerous. Controlling the ignition source is too difficult
Can’t you determine the source of the gas?
Please provide the specific components and the process by which the gas is produced; I’m sure others will be able to help you solve the problem. Since it is a mixed gas containing oxidizing gases such as oxygen, I think it is best to utilize it on-site or burn it in a flare; transporting it poses various risks and dangers, and it is not safe.
If the gas composition can be determined, then it is necessary to consider the explosion limit of that gas as well as its physical properties; if the flash point is very low, it is recommended to handle it on-site.
Hydrogen-oxygen mixtures cannot be transported; they must be safely discharged. Static electricity should be eliminated from the pipelines, and if discharge is carried out through chimneys over a long period of time, lightning protection measures should be installed at the discharge outlets
