Is the torch emitting yellow smoke?
Thread Content
Yesterday, I noticed that the acid gas flare at my plant was emitting yellow smoke. Why is that? Is it the color of sulfur dioxide? Do your flares exhibit this phenomenon as well?
Haven’t seen it. I’m hearing about it for the first time. It is possible to analyze the operations at that time, as well as the matters related to venting flare gas.
Generally, it emits blue smoke or black smoke due to poor combustion; I’ve never seen it emit yellow smoke. Could you explain this in more detail?
I’ve never encountered this situation; maybe it’s because of oil.
Adjust the air intake volume for desulfurization.
I don’t know what LZ produces; it might be nitrogen oxides
What the poster is referring to is yellow smoke coming from the acid gas flare – is this normal behavior for such a flare? If the tail end of the flame is yellow, it’s due to a high sulfur content in the gas, or it may be caused by problems with the sulfur treatment equipment; fluctuations in operations can lead to the direct release of acid gas
Yellow smoke coming from the torch indicates that oil and hydrocarbons have suddenly appeared in the acidic gas; this situation often occurs (we have encountered it before).
It’s probably caused by nitrogen oxides; the presence of light hydrocarbons results in black smoke, while sulfur and hydrogen give off a pale blue color
Yellow smoke from the torch indicates that there is oil present, causing incomplete combustion.
Your facility must also be a combined acid gas and sulfur plant; this is the reason for the sulfur plant: the sulfide reactions are not proceeding properly, resulting in losses!
I haven’t encountered it yet; shall we discuss it together?
If the torch burns acidic gases, white smoke will be produced, and it will stretch out quite long. If gas burning often produces black smoke, it is similar to the chimney of a sulfur recovery unit.
If the torch emits yellow smoke, it definitely contains sulfur dioxide; there is also a pungent odor, so proper protection is necessary, especially in the downwind area. There is a problem with your device’s manufacturing process. We used to have a hydrogen sulfide-based acid production plant here, and yellow smoke would come out of the chimney. Sulfur trioxide is white smoke with a density greater than that of air
From another perspective, is it possible that nitrides and sulfides act together to provide the best analysis of the regenerated flue gas?
It is estimated to be caused by nitrogen oxides. It depends on the specific composition of the exhaust gases to determine.
Yellow smoke coming from the acid gas flare occurs when the incinerator in the sulfur plant is shut down for fire suppression; our company has encountered this situation.
Could you explain it to me in detail? We have encountered this problem too. Could you please tell me the specific reason? Are there any good preventive measures or solutions?

It’s likely that hydrogen sulfide got mixed in
If there’s yellow smoke, it’s probably because of oil. As for the reason, it’s unclear
