Visual Image vs. Thermal Image

Flare stacks are used in many industries to burn off unwanted waste gas byproducts, or flammable gasses released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment.

They are often a last line of defense that prevents dangerous hydrocarbon pollutants from entering the atmosphere. A plant manager needs to know immediately if flare stack combustion is lost, and get the flame reignited quickly to prevent a plant shutdown. Applications include oil and gas well drilling operations, oil refineries, chemical process plants, gas distribution infrastructure, and landfills. In many cases, regulations require the monitoring of a stack’s flame, or the pilot flame that ignites the gasses, to avoid having unburned hydrocarbons enter the atmosphere. WESAM offers an ideal solution using FLIR A-310pt visual & thermal (infrared) imaging cameras. Thermal Imaging Cameras are an ideal monitoring tool since they allow automated remote monitoring on a 24/7 basis in virtually any weather. In addition, thermal imaging cameras avoid many of the technical and cost-related problems associated with other technologies such as ultraviolet (UV) flame detectors, flame ionization spectrometers, thermocouples and pyrometers. Moreover, the RFM System provide two images, thermal and visual (normal CCCTV system) at the same time using the same A310pt camera which has two lenses.

  • Notify plant management via email and intranet connections.
  • Connection to a central control room (CCR) via Ethernet.
  • Work day and night, seven days a week and in any weather.
  • Improved efficiency.
  • Increased worker safety
  • Avoids many of the technical and cost-related problems associated with other technologies such as ultraviolet (UV), flame detectors, flame ionization spectrometers, thermocouples, and pyrometers.

 

Safety

In industrial plants, flare stacks are primarily used for burning off flammable gas released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. So keeping an eye on the Last Defense Line in any industrial plant is absolutely Very Important for People Safety.

Environment

Protect the Environment from Gas Releases by increasing the combustion efficiency.

Loss Prevention

Minimize risks of high consequences & crisis caused by huge gas release & combustion process malfunction.
