Monitoring Flare Performance with Video Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (VISR)
- FlareGuardian™ is a VISR based product produced by Zeeco, Inc. for flare monitoring
 
- Introduction to VISR
 
- Validation of the VISR method
 
- VISR capabilities
 
- Applications
 

 

Benefits of FlareGuardian™
- Integral part of flare instrumentation and control 
 
- Flare dashboard – Real time continuous performance data changes the way you operate flares 
 
- Direct CE monitoring – avoid over- or under-regulating with the surrogate based indirect method 
 
- Closed-Loop Control of Flare
 
- Less expensive than GC and Calorimeter based regulatory methods 
 
- Fast response (one second data resolution vs. 8-12 minute data resolution for GC), minimizing deviations in the15-min regulatory compliance period 
 
- Supplemental fuel savings 
 
- Remote sensing
