3rd Party Verification and 99% Destruction Efficiency Confirmed

Independently validated flare performance using advanced optical measurement technology

  • D.B.I. flare systems have been independently tested and verified to achieve destruction efficiency of 99% or greater under controlled field conditions.
  • Using advanced optical measurement technology, third-party testing confirms real-world combustion performance and supports regulatory compliance with confidence.

What It Proves

Verified combustion performance under real operating conditions

Third-party testing removes uncertainty by directly measuring flare performance rather than relying on theoretical calculations.

  • Confirms 99%+ destruction efficiency
  • Provides measurable emissions performance data
  • Supports regulatory compliance and reporting
  • Validates system design and combustion stability
How It Works

VISR testing captures measurable flare performance without interrupting operations.

Testing is conducted using Video Imaging Spectral Radiometry (VISR), developed by Providence Photonics.

This method directly measures:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
  • Unburned hydrocarbons (HC)
  • Combustion efficiency (CE) in real time

The system captures flare performance data remotely without disrupting operations.

VISR Technology (Mantis™ System)

Providence Photonics applies advanced optical measurement to create a full flare performance profile.

Providence Photonics utilizes the Mantis™ flare monitoring system, which applies VISR technology to evaluate flare performance across multiple metrics:

  • Combustion Efficiency (CE)
  • Smoke Index (SI)
  • Flame Stability (FS)
  • Flame Footprint (FF)
  • Fractional Heat Release (FH)

This provides a complete performance profile of the flare system.

Why It Matters

Measured performance is critical for environmental compliance.

  • Eliminates reliance on assumptions
  • Confirms real-world emissions performance
  • Supports compliance documentation
  • Reduces operational and regulatory risk

Verified data provides operators with confidence in system performance.

Where It Applies

Third-party verification is typically used for:

  • Regulatory compliance validation
  • Emissions reporting requirements
  • New system commissioning
  • Retrofit performance validation
  • Facilities requiring documented combustion efficiency

Integration with D.B.I. Systems

Verification is achieved through proper system design and operation, including:

  • High pressure flare systems (TBone®, VOPT)
  • Low pressure systems (FAST Gas Assist)
  • Stable ignition systems
  • Proper air-to-gas ratio control
  • Monitoring systems such as Tattle Tale®
