Smoke emissions are the result of inefficient combustion of the waste gas producing unburnt hydrocarbon particles, often caused by an insufficient fuel/oxygen content ratio. Smoke emissions may violate local or national clean air regulations, or they may trigger landowner complaints.

Tornado's air-assisted flares will prevent smoke emissions by ensuring a highly efficient combustion process. The design of an air-assisted flare uses forced air supplied by means of a blower installed at the base of the flare. The air mixes the waste gas at the flare tip, increasing energy and guaranteeing an adequate fuel/oxygen ratio sufficient for full and complete combustion.
