What It Does

Maintains optimal air-to-gas ratio in real time

Tattle Tale® monitors flare exhaust temperature and automatically adjusts combustion air to maintain efficient combustion.

  • Real-time flare performance monitoring
  • Automatic combustion air adjustment
  • Maintains optimal air-to-gas ratio
  • Eliminates manual tuning and operator guesswork
Why It Matters

Continuous optimization removes the variability that weakens flare performance.

Traditional air flare systems operate at fixed blower speeds or rely on manual adjustment, which leads to inconsistent combustion.

  • Under-fired systems reduce destruction efficiency
  • Over-fired systems waste energy and impact performance
  • Variable gas composition creates instability

Tattle Tale® removes these variables by continuously optimizing combustion conditions.

How It Works

The system measures exhaust temperature directly at the flare tip and uses a PLC-driven control logic to regulate combustion air through a variable frequency drive (VFD).

  • Temperature signal sent to PLC
  • PLC adjusts blower speed via VFD
  • Airflow dynamically responds to changing conditions
  • Maintains stable combustion across variable gas flows

Additional Inputs

Additional inputs can be integrated for enhanced control:

  • Exhaust temperature (primary input)
  • Thermal mass flow meter
  • Ambient temperature
  • Pressure signals

This multi-input capability allows the system to adapt to real operating conditions with precision.
