Emissions impact climate and air quality
We help find and quantify them
Flare Efficiency Measurement
A new highly accurate dronebased method of measuring the destruction removal efficiency (DRE) of flares. Developed by Explicit, the method uses a sniffer drone integrated with high performance gas and wind sensors.
Flare destruction removal efficiency plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impact. By implementing precise monitoring practices, efficiency can be enhanced to meet regulatory requirements, and take proactive steps towards sustainable environmental management.
Key benefits
From climate gas to emissions result
-
1
Site survey & sampling plan
Preliminary analysis of the site: identification of possible sources, risk zones, feasible flight paths etc.
-
2
Drone set-up and data collection
Gas and wind sensors are integrated to the drone. Through an adaptive flight pattern, the drone flies a vertical wall downwind from the site of interest, collecting thousands of data points.
-
3
Preliminary and final analysis
An automatized analysis provides the pilot real-time feedbacks on the flight.
Once the data collection is concluded, our analysts processes the data. -
4
Emission report
A detailed emission report containing the average emission rates and flare destruction efficiency is presented to the client.
Quantification
Data are collected downwind from the site of interest, so that the emission plume is entirely intercepted by the drone. Because both gas and wind data are closely correlated in time and space, Explicit is able to accurately calculate the net emission rate (kg/h) across the inspected area for both CO2 and methane and thereby calculate the DRE.
