I would like to ask: what are the hazards of liquid in a torch tank?
When a large amount of venting occurs, there is a downpour of embers from the torch; regular drainage is sufficient

There was an incident in Ningxia involving a torch in which a large amount of liquid was sprayed out from the torch head, causing injuries to passersby. Accident of torch shutdown caused by liquid accumulation in the ammonia torch pipeline https://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1333444 (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum)
The torch makes a sound as it burns, with rain of embers falling.
The root cause of the accident was improper operation, which led to the release of liquid ammonia into the flare system – something that is not permitted by regulations – and the liquid separation tank is not capable of handling such a large volume of discharge
