Summary
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become a major factor in limiting the impact of global warming, which includes methane gas. While the oil and gas industry is not the only source of CO2 and methane, it plays a major role in our efforts to reduce these emissions. Monitoring and measuring industrial flare combustion efficiency in the field has been a longstanding challenge. This is because industrial flares are open combustion, large in scale, and subject to large variations in operation conditions.
Flare combustion is a dynamic process where its efficiency can be affected by operation process as well as environmental conditions, such as crosswind. Assisted flares commonly face the issue of saturating the combustion zone with too much steam, air, fuel, or a combination of the three. Unassisted flares typically rely on static emissions factors to estimate the amount of uncombusted hydrocarbons being released into the environment. When better methodologies are available, customers can achieve better control operations and continuous emissions measurement, leading to more efficient flares and potentially reducing reportable emissions.
