Description

The audience will learn how using an intelligent camera can determine/characterize flare activity/smoke, real time, to historize and/or automate adjustment of the flare for optimization.  
Key Takeaways:

  • Educational of technologies available
  • Integration of the flare data into the control system and with other related to digital efforts in AI, IoT, Edge computing, etc.
  • Future applications using cameras
  • Improve sustainability/efficiency, substantiate economic impacts, and reduce risks with more accurate data:
  • Streamline operations actionable items
  • Validate/quantify actual emissions over time for air permits and reporting purposes  
  • Regulatory reporting, supporting documentation/analytics, validations per required codes etc.
    • EPA – 40 CFR 60, 98, 112, and 1604
    • PHMSA – 49 CFR 192 & 195
    • PSM – OSHA 1910
