FlareSentinel — Flare Combustion Intelligence & Compliance
AI-powered combustion intelligence for industrial gas flares. Fuses optical, thermal, and process telemetry to optimize assist steam, eliminate over-steaming, and automate EPA 40 CFR 63.670 and Method 22 regulatory compliance.

Description
Product Overview
FlareSentinel is an enterprise combustion intelligence and assist-steam advisory platform for continuous refineries and chemical complexes. Industrial gas flares are critical safety systems, yet flaring operators routinely inject 20% to 50% excess assist steam defensively to prevent visible smoke violations, overcooling flare flames, wasting high-pressure steam, and driving emissions.
FlareSentinel transforms this operational paradigm by bridging optical imaging, radiometric thermal data, and gas chromatography into an instrument-grade combustion picture. Grounded in EPA 40 CFR 63.670 thermodynamics and Method 22 criteria, it continuously tracks the boundary between smokeless operation and flame quenching, delivering bounded assist-steam recommendations directly to control rooms for verified energy savings, lower emissions, and automated compliance.
The Problem
- Over-Steaming: Defensive excess steam quenches flames and wastes boiler fuel.
- Manual Compliance: Manual Method 22 logging creates audit exposure.
- Sensor Delays: 15-min GC delays leave operators blind during upsets.
- Safety Limits: Operators cannot risk under-steaming (soot) nor over-steaming (quench).
How the Product Solves the Problem
Operating as a read-only advisory layer with zero DCS writes, FlareSentinel time-aligns 1 Hz telemetry to compute combustion thermodynamics, calculating minimum assist steam needed for smokeless combustion.

Strategic Value
FlareSentinel modernizes flaring into a standardized digital operation, establishing a combustion digital twin and preparing facilities for evolving EPA Subpart W and EU Methane rules.
Differentiation
- Deterministic Physics: Combines computer vision with EPA 40 CFR 63.670 formulas.
- Safety Guardrails: Built-in slew clamps and minimum purge floors.
- Unidirectional Boundary: Strictly read-only Level 3 architecture with zero DCS writes.
- Edge Resilience: Store-and-forward edge preserves compliance through disconnects.
Why It Matters
Flares are critical safety systems, but over-steaming wastes fuel and risks non-compliance. FlareSentinel delivers real-time visibility and optimized advisories, protecting operating margins and compliance.
