A blowdown system is a collection of controls, valves and pipes by which liquid or gas pressure contained within a process, piping, or pressure vessel, can be safely relieved.

In the event that the blowdown will release flammable or hazardous vapors to the atmosphere, the flammable or hazardous vapors may be routed to a flare for combustion and destruction.

A flare may be as simple as a open section of pipe with a manual pilot light, or as sophisticated as a collection of venturi drive burner tubes.
