Gas metering in gas flaring is essential for accurately quantifying the volume of gas burned and emitted. It enables precise measurement of greenhouse gas emissions, aiding in compliance with regulations and facilitating emission reduction efforts. Additionally, it supports efficient resource management and financial accountability in the oil and gas industry.

Combustion Optimization During Gas Flaring Process

During the flaring process, gases such as methane, ethane, propane, butane, and hydrogen sulfide are typically measured to assess their composition in achieving combustion optimization during gas flaring. By continuously monitoring the composition of flared gases, timely adjustments to the air-to-fuel ratio can be made to ensure complete combustion and minimizing harmful byproduct. Moreover, data recording and gas composition analysis enable trend identification for ongoing combustion, ensuring continuous optimization, reduced emissions, and adherence to regulatory standards.

GHG Emission Monitoring After Gas Flaring

Gas flaring is one major source accounting for greenhouse gas emission in oil and gas industry. After gas flaring, combustion byproducts such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds may be vented, which should be monitored to evaluate combustion efficiency and environmental impact. Also, gas flaring may release methane, as incomplete combustion during flaring produces methane, or an active flare may be not totally extinguished, resulting in the direct venting of methane gas to the atmosphere that should be combusted. It is essential to measure and monitor vented methane gas under safety concern.
