Flare Stack Monitoring

Thermal imaging cameras can be used to identify correct pilot ignition, proper burning profiles and basic flare conditions

PRINTABLE PDF

Many industries use flare stacks to burn off unwanted waste gas byproducts or flammable gasses released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. Applications include oil and gas drilling operations, oil refineries, chemical process plants, gas distribution infrastructure, and landfills. In many cases, regulations require monitoring of a stack’s flame, or the pilot flame that ignites the gasses, to avoid having unburned hydrocarbons enter the atmosphere.

Viper can help you meet the HSE needs of the industry.
