Abstract: Process for measuring emission for a flame in an open combustion environment. A captured image is received from each of a plurality of image capturing devices in at least one selected spectral band. Each of the plurality of image capturing devices is trained on the flame from the combustion process from a different perspective view angle. A spectral path length of the flame in the at least one spectral band is estimated from the captured images. Emitted radiance of the flame is estimated from the captured images, and a temperature of the flame is estimated from the estimated emitted radiance. A gas species concentration of the flame is estimated from the temperature of the flame and the spectral path length of the flame. Emission for the flame is measured from the gas species concentration.

Abstract: A flare burner for burning combustible waste gases with a manifold, at least two arms, and a plurality of outlets disposed on the plurality of arms. The arms may be perpendicular to the manifold. The arms may also extend outwardly from the manifold. The arms may extend into annuli, to produce oppositely flowing exit gas. A curved dispersing surface may be disposed above the manifold. The arms may comprise a curvilinear shape or include both a linear and a curvilinear portion. The arms are unequal in length and may curve in an opposite direction from each other. The outlets are configured and spaced such that flame is short relative to size of the flare burner.

In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a burner assembly comprising a burner tile having a top surface, an outside surface, a pre-mix region and defining an interior space for introduction of combustion air. A plurality of primary fuel tips are disposed in the interior space for injection of a primary fuel followed by mixing of a portion of the primary fuel and a portion of the combustion air mix in the pre-mix region to provide a primary fuel-air mixture. A plurality of secondary fuel tips are located on the top surface or mounted near the outside surface of the burner tile. A plurality of low velocity ports are located on the top surface of the burner tile for injecting the primary fuel-air mixture from the pre-mix region.

Abstract: Example methods provided herein generate and employ three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed images of process equipment or areas within various environments in which combustion processes take places. These three-dimensional images are generated with data provided from imaging devices. The imaging devices are disposed or positioned at multiple vantage points, and in various ways, to monitor process equipment in the environment.

Abstract: A method and a process to treat coke generated from a process application. The method includes the steps of recovering a mixture of coke particles and water or steam removed from at least one process application vessel. The mixture is directed to a cyclonic separator utilizing centrifugal force and gravity. Water is separated from the mixture in the cyclonic separator. Coke particles are separated from the mixture in the cyclonic separator and are directed to a thermal oxidizer. Coke particles are oxidized and gasified in the thermal oxidizer to produce gas and reduced particulate matter. The gas and reduced particulate matter are thereafter directed to a burner in the process application vessel.

Abstract: Process for measuring emission for a flame in an open combustion environment. A captured image is received from each of a plurality of image capturing devices in at least one selected spectral band. Each of the plurality of image capturing devices is trained on the flame from the combustion process from a different perspective view angle. A spectral path length of the flame in the at least one spectral band is estimated from the captured images. Emitted radiance of the flame is estimated from the captured images, and a temperature of the flame is estimated from the estimated emitted radiance. A gas species concentration of the flame is estimated from the temperature of the flame and the spectral path length of the flame. Emission for the flame is measured from the gas species concentration.
