| brûlage | flaring | |
| brûlage | gas flaring | |
| brûlage contrôlé | controlled burning | |
| brûlage contrôlé | controlled burning (The planned use of carefully controlled fire to accomplish predetermined management goals. The burn is set under a combination of weather, fuel moisture, soil moisture, and fuel arrangement conditions that allow the management objectives to be attained, and yet confine the fire to the planned area) | |

| brûlage à la torche | flare | |
| brûlage à la torche | gas flare | |
| brûlage à la torche | flaring | |
| brûlage à la torche | flaring (1. Flares use open flames during normal and/or emergency operations to combust hazardous gaseous. The system has no special features to control temperature or time of combustion; however, supplemental fuel may be required to sustain the combustion. Historically, flares have been used to dispose of waste gases in the oil and gas industry and at wastewater treatment plants having anaerobic digestors. Regulation for thermal destruction of hazardous wastes limit the practical use of flaring to combustion of relatively simple hydrocarbons, such as methane from digesters or landfill gas collection systems. 2. A control device that burns hazardous materials to prevent their release into the environment; may operate continuously or intermittently, usually on top a stack) |
