What measures should be taken if there is no steam and flammes are being emitted?

Let’s discuss this: what measures should be taken if there is no steam and flares are being used to release the gas?
No measures can be taken; in any case, the fire has to be lit!
Or in other words: what should be done if the steam supply is suddenly stopped while the torch is burning normally?
Why isn’t anyone introducing me? Could any experts give some advice? It’s possible to happen during production!
Isn’t there also a nitrogen system? Even if there’s nothing, it’s fine to use the torch head for a short time; there will just be black smoke.
What role does the nitrogen system play in this situation? Is nitrogen introduced during the torch combustion?
The nitrogen system lifts the flame, allowing the dry gas to receive more oxygen for a more complete combustion. In addition to eliminating black smoke, it also prevents tempering.
How much nitrogen is required? The amount is so small it can’t have any effect, right? Also, if there is too much nitrogen, could it blow out the flame?
It can be solved; such working conditions do exist and are possible to occur. qq835707039
There are no special measures that can be taken; generally, a nitrogen seal is installed inside the molecular seal； However, if the flare gas pipeline is a high-temperature pipeline, a large amount of nitrogen should be introduced to purge the pipeline promptly after the flare gas discharge is completed, in order to prevent negative pressure from forming inside the pipeline and allowing flames to enter the flare system.
Some manufacturers install an air pipeline that operates at high flow rates when there is no steam, thereby reducing or preventing smoke from being emitted from the flare.
