Looking at the image in the article, the 'fast fire accellerator' looks suspiciously like a traditional waste gas flare common for the past 50 years in petroleum refining.

Its common to try and redefine these as the EPA cracks down on them and they are environmentally bad. The last major push in industry was to try calling them a steam flare.

Disclosure: I worked a few years in refineries as a mechanical maintenance contractor.

IIRC, there is no longer a waste gas flare at SpaceX's facilities. They are doing methane recapture and recondensing.
