Abstract: An emission control flare stack for minimizing the formation of volatile organic compounds wherein the stack has a controller for operating a gas flow meter; a inlet gas regulator; an oxygen/air flow meter; an oxygen/air regulator; a burner with at least one igniter; a plurality of cooling and heating tubes; and a neutralization solution regulator. The controller receives data from a temperature sensor and an emissions sensor and is in communication with a network. The controller provides controlled burn and neutralization using air intake information and gas concentrations information and can transmit data to an administrative server, cloud computing processor, client devices or combinations thereof for continuous remote viewing of emissions using an executive dashboard.
Abstract: A computer program product to minimize the formation of volatile organic compounds by creating an emission control flare stack and informing users connected to a controller of the emission control flare stack, wherein the computer program product includes a library of preset limits, computer instructions to: (i) monitor inlet of gas and oxygen/air to a shell; (ii) control ignition of the gas forming an intermediate gas; (iii) control temperature of the intermediate gas, (iv) control neutralization of volatile organic compound components in the intermediate gas forming an emission within 40 CFR part 63, effective 2015, and (v) providing information to users via a network continuously on compliance, such as with an executive dashboard.
Abstract: A method to minimize the formation of volatile organic compounds by using an emission control flare stack in line with a gas coming from a source; mixing oxygen/air with the gas then using detected temperatures and concentrations and comparing those detected temperatures and concentrations to a library of preset limits to control inlet flow rates, control burn of the gas forming an intermediate gas; and controlling the temperature of the intermediate gas, then controlling neutralization of the temperature controlled intermediate gas to minimize the formation of volatile organic compound components and form an emission in compliance with within 40 CFR part 63, effective 2015.
