Abstract: The present invention presents a method of assessing the quality of the burning of the gases in the flare and adjusting the vapor flow rate in a continuous way and with flexibility to integrate with different instrumentation topologies of the flare control system. The state of the flare flame is identified from an image set of the flame, classifying it into one of four: flame with excess vapor, optimized flame, flame with soot or images with insufficient information to classify them as one of the previous states of the flare flame. In addition, it is further able to quantify the height of the flame. The invention comprises the following components: flare, camera, image stream manager, edge computer, data historian, alert manager, information visualization panels, distributed digital control system, DDCS, and cloud storage and computing.

Abstract: The present invention is related to production schedules in a refinery and, more particularly, refinery production schedules by genetic programming in domain specific language. In this scenario, the present invention provides a method and an optimization system based on linear genetic programming oriented to grammar and with quantic inspiration using a domain specific language for the solution of oil programming problems, in addition to a readable medium comprising instructions to perform this said method. More specifically, the quantic chromosome keeps the superposition of states of all possible solutions and, through the evolutionary process and observation of quantic genes, the classical chromosome is created as a linear sequence of instructions to be performed. The performed instructions represent the scheduling.
