Hey everyone,
Perhaps you’ve been wondering what the colors are in your gas flare. Purple is a mix of blue with orange. These are the main flammable gases produced and their heat values, as far as I can tell…

  1. carbon monoxide (blue) 323 BTU/ft3, 4368 BTU/lb

  2. hydrogen (orange) 325 BTU/ft3, 61,084 BTU/lb

3.methane (blue) 1011 BTU/ft3, 23,811 BTU/lb
