Thermal cameras, which were originally developed for surveillance and military operations, are now widely used for building inspections (moisture, insulation, roofing, etc.), firefighting, autonomous vehicles and automatic braking, skin temperature screening, industrial inspections, scientific research, and a variety of other applications.
The Global flare monitoring thermal camera market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In many industries, flare stacks are utilised to burn off undesirable waste gas byproducts or flammable gases produced by pressure relief valves during accidental over-pressuring of plant equipment.
Oil and gas well drilling activities, oil refineries, chemical process plants, gas distribution infrastructure, and landfills are all examples of applications. To avoid unburned hydrocarbons entering the environment, several regulations demand the monitoring of a stack’s flame or the pilot flame that ignites the gases.
Thermal imaging cameras are an excellent monitoring tool because they enable automated remote monitoring in nearly any condition. Furthermore, thermal imaging cameras sidestep many of the technical and financial issues that plague other technologies such as ultraviolet (UV) flame detectors, flame ionisation spectrometers, thermocouples, and pyrometers.
FLIR thermal imaging cameras can distinguish between the heat signature of a flare stack flame and that of the surrounding background (usually, the sky or clouds).
These cameras can be used to monitor the igniter flame in addition to detecting stack flame. To protect cameras from extreme weather conditions, they are typically mounted on a pedestal or other sturdy structure in moisture-proof housings.
