Benefits of VISR Technology
- Provides real-time combustion efficiency, smoke index, flame stability, flame footprint, heat release, and pilot status
- Autonomous data collection (DCS or PLC) for optimized flare performance
- Simplify monitoring, reporting, and compliance activities
- Remote mounted, non-contact monitoring – don’t have to shut down to install
- More accurate results versus indirect monitoring
- Eliminates need for monitoring surrogate parameters. If any of the 12-15 devices for monitoring goes down the plant is in non-compliance
- Short measurement cycle enables quick response and minimizes cost for supplemental fuel, steam, or air
- Industrial closed loop interface allows for flare operation and control based on direct combustion efficiency and smoke index values in realtime
- Easy installation and maintenance and no calibrations
- Eliminates need for visual verification of smokeless performance.
Summary of VISR Capabilities
For flare monitoring (dashboard)- CE (Combustion Efficiency)
- SI (Smoke Index)
- FS (Flame Stability)
- FF (Flare Footprint) can provide flame length
- HR (Heat Release) potentially estimate mass rate
- Monitor pilot flame
- Ability to look into flare with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution
- Tool for design/research (validating CFD modeling)
- Troubleshooting of existing flare
