Monitoring and maintaining flare tip temperatures

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, from a flow meter, a data stream indicative of a first set of flare tip parameters, the flow meter being included in a flare supply line supplying flare gas to a flare tip;
• determining a second set of parameters based on the first set of flare tip parameters, wherein the second set of parameters comprises an adiabatic flame temperature derived by adding a reference temperature to a ratio of a lower heating value of a composition of the data stream based on a molar flow to a sum of molar coefficients and molar heat capacities;
• determining mass flow based on the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters;
• determining an adjustment of the mass flow for maintaining at least one parameter of the first set of parameter and the second set of parameters within a specified range;
• generating a control signal for actuating an actuable device, the control signal comprising the adjustment of the mass flow to a flare stream directed from a flare header through a knock-out drum, the knock-out drum filtering liquids prior to supplying flare gas to a flare supply line guiding the flare gas towards the flare tip actuating the actuable device;
• and
• regulating the flare flame at the flare tip by actuating the actuable device using the control signal.
