AI system estimates flare combustion efficiency from thermal video

Researchers have developed an AI system to estimate flare combustion efficiency using thermal video footage. This system employs a vision-language encoder and a multi-layer perceptron, offering a more cost-effective and practical alternative to traditional instruments. The integrated graphical user interface provides real-time efficiency predictions, trend analysis, and exportable reports, demonstrating high uptime and minimal maintenance over a six-month trial.
