# Flare Monitoring

See flaring activity, across all your locations, from anywhere you are in the world.

## Use Cases

### Visible Flaring

Recognize efficient flare stacks and those that need attention.

Knowing when your locations conduct routine flaring is crucial. Flaring can release greenhouse gasses if your flare stacks aren't working efficiently. If you operate flare stacks across different regions, you may be subject to varying regulatory standards. Andium Flare Monitoring helps you keep track of flaring activity across all your locations and stay within regulations.

### Smoking Flare Stacks

Track when black smoke occurs.

Flares are meant to burn clean. They should not produce black smoke under normal conditions. When a flare stack begins smoking, it usually indicates incomplete combustion or impurities in its gas.

Andium Flare Monitoring observes your flare stacks and detects these anomalies. Once one of our devices detects black smoke, our system will notify you. You'll have the immediate visibility you need to keep your flare stacks burning efficiently.

### Flare Efficiency

Keep track of your flare efficiencies and malfunctions, such as pilot light outages or gas venting.

Inefficient flare stacks can swiftly result in substantial fines due to non-compliance. A properly functioning flare should ensure clean, smokeless combustion. Inefficient flaring leads to smoke production or even pilot light outages, potentially causing methane to vent from your equipment.

Andium's Flare Monitoring provides a comprehensive view of your flare efficiency, promptly alerting you of critical issues such as black smoke or pilot light failures. This enhanced visibility empowers you to precisely identify maintenance needs at once. You can fix the problem right away and avoid costly penalties associated with flaring and venting.

### Pilot Lights

Monitor the status of your pilot lights, making sure gases do not vent from your flare stacks.

Operating with inefficient flare stacks can swiftly result in substantial fines due to non-compliance. In many states, it is required for your pilot lights to remain lit. When a pilot light outage occurs, methane can vent from your flare stacks.

Andium's Flare Monitoring provides a comprehensive view of your flare stacks and detects pilot light failures at all your locations. This enhanced visibility lets you precisely identify maintenance needs, circumventing costly penalties associated with flaring and venting.
