DESCRIPTION:The impact of methane released from upstream oil and gas proces
 sing on climate change is mitigated through flaring\, which converts the m
 ethane into carbon dioxide. Under ideal conditions this process is highly 
 effective\, but cross-winds and smoke suppression through air and steam in
 jection may significantly reduce flare combustion efficiency. Understandin
 g how these phenomena impact flare emissions is challenging\, however\, du
 e to the highly transient and diffuse nature of gaseous emissions. Hypersp
 ectral and multispectral imaging offers a unique capability to provide rel
 iable\, temporally-resolved field measurements of flare combustion efficie
 ncy through fenceline monitoring. The technique combines species column de
 nsities inferred from emission spectroscopy with intensity-weighted veloci
 ties found from an optical flow algorithm to obtain the mass fluxes needed
  to define combustion efficiency. This talk reviews recent progress and so
 me of the remaining challenges that must be resolved to develop a robust t
 ool for monitoring flare combustion efficiency.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Kyle
