Flare systems analyzer

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• a flare monitoring system configured to ascertain quantitative data concerning flare events within a processing facility, the flare monitoring system comprising a network of flare-through elements controlled by and in passive fluid communication with one or more upstream fluid sources and each generating a data signal, the one or more upstream fluid sources being flare fluid contributors for which a quantity of flare fluid at each source is estimated by a plurality of processing modules;
• one or more processors coupled to a memory;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the programming instructions instructing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• determining quantitative data related to flaring events within operating facilities including one or more of oil, gas and petrochemical processing plants in a network of operating facilities, flare headers, equipment, and relief sources in which each operating facility is uniquely identified and connected to the one or more processors, wherein the relief sources are connected using a data signal received and processed using a processing model associated with a relief source type, size and identifications;
• receiving real-time flaring volume data from relief devices connected to a flare network;
• analyzing the real-time flaring volume data in conjunction with heat and material balance information of the relief devices;
• performing, based on the analyzing, a comprehensive molar balance;
• aggregating flaring data for components for each flare header;
• and
• providing, for display to a user in a user interface, real-time flare network monitoring information, including instantaneous component-wise flaring for each flare header in the flare network.
