Challenge

The task was to develop an Machine Learning model to assist an operator who visually controls the performance of a gas flare. Missing a certain behavior of the flare can result in flare tip damage and plant shut down, which leads to tremendous losses in idle time.

Approach

The R&D process was performed on the Client's premises, as most of their data are restricted. After training the Client's team on Machine Learning fundamentals, we started working on the project. As the result, we've built several models based on decision trees.

Due to Client's restrictions we were limited to a virtual machine without GPU

Solution

As a result of joint effort the Computer Vision driven tools were developed that help the operator monitor the flare behaviour. Now he can identify unwanted flare burning and take timely action.

An option with an infrared camera was offered to the Client, who is now considering it.
