Details

LumaSense specializes in turn-key solutions consisting of complete engineering, design, and installation services to meet the most severe and challenging thermal imaging system requirements.

Flare tips in close proximity cause interference from adjacent flare tips for most remote optical (IR or UV) sensors. The LumaSense FlareSpection infrared camera is designed to provide the clearest flare image and pilot flame monitoring to enable reliable monitoring of multiple flare tips.

The flare monitoring thermal imaging system enables users to confirm flare operation remotely and automatically, detecting differences in heat signatures of the flare stack. Designed with special spectral ranges, calibrations, and optics, the FlareSpection camera can view clearly through moisture, heavy rain, and fog even at great distances.

With an adjustable mount and base, the powerful lens and high resolution camera offer a clear view of flare details from a convenient ground mounting location. The camera is protected in a stainless steel enclosure with an integrated site tube to prevent dust and dirt on the window, allowing for uninterrupted use with minimal maintenance.

The software includes the capability of logging performance for audits, recording video for reviewing historical events, and setting up alerts for measurements that may fall outside of the plant’s preset limits. The software also easily connects to the plant's DCS via protocols such as Modbus and OPC, as well as connections to pilot ignitors via traditional I/O relay modules.
