§
...
98.238
...
defines
...
a
...
flare
...
as “…a combustion device,
...
whether
...
at
...
ground
...
level
...
or
...
elevated,
...
that
...
uses
...
an
...
open
...
or
...
closed
...
flame
...
to
...
combust
...
waste
...
gases
...
without
...
energy
...
recovery.
...
” An
...
open
...
pipe
...
without
...
combustion
...
would
...
not
...
be
...
considered
...
a
...
flare,
...
but
...
any
...
hydrocarbon
...
releases
...
through
...
it
...
would
...
be
...
considered “vented emissions” under §98.238,
...
which
...
includes
...
“process designed
...
flow
...
to
...
the
...
atmosphere
...
through
...
seals
...
or
...
vent
...
pipes.
