Optimize the Performance of your Entire Flare System

The flare gas system is used to safely release toxic gases from a plant by burning it. It is designed to protect people, environment and the refinery. Part of normal operation in most flares is to use methane as a sweep gas after the liquid seal. Recent environmental concerns have prompted many organizations and countries to seek to reduce methane emissions, some of which include those coming from the stack. It is critical to ensure the methane is properly combusted and the flare system maintains a high combustion efficiency even when process upsets send flare gas to the flare tip.

Measuring flare gas flow allows companies to; comply with regulatory standards, improve plant efficiency and reduce wasted gas. This webinar will provide an overview of the growing support from oil and gas companies and the most recent refinery regulations. It will dive into the technical methods around flare stack monitoring and review how using advanced process control software can enable companies to remain compliant.

Panametrics' technical experts will discuss using predictive modelling, the patent pending steam control algorithm by drawing correlations between the flare flow conditions in the system. The flare.IQ technology and how it can overcome the latency associated with heating value (BTU) measurement. flare.IQ is fully equipped with all the software to meet regulatory compliance, eliminating the need for software development.

Lastly, we will touch upon specific services for regulatory environments, for non-regulatory environments and hot tap assistance. Register today to learn more or contact our technical experts for questions.
