Flare Monitoring is the collection and use of measurement data from the high-oxidation process used to burn waste gases containing combustible components in order to assure compliance in accordance with regulations defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Flaring is a high-temperature oxidation process used to burn waste gases containing combustible components such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), natural gas (or methane), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen (H2). The waste gases are piped into a remote, usually elevated location, and burned in an open flame in ambient air using a specially designed burner tip, auxiliary fuel, and in some cases, assist gases like steam or air to promote mixing for the nearly complete destruction of the combustible components in the waste gas.
Monitoring means the collection and use of measurement data or other information to control the operation of a process or pollution control device or to verify a work practice standard relative to assuring compliance with applicable requirements.
