What are those flames that burn all the time?

197 views

Walking the trails in the city park, you’ll see a couple of huge orange flames shooting up amongst rhe trees. First time I saw them was at night and it looked like a tree fire. The flames are actually coming from a couple of pipe-ish structures in the Clean Water Services facility (the city’s sewage wastewater treatment plant).

What are there flames burning 24/7 at the wastewater plant?

Gas flares.

you see them all over west Texas oilfields when flying at night. Seems like such a huge waste, but there’s no easy way to collect/use the gas. For the sewage plant it will be methane they’re burning off.
