New · Flare Monitoring

See what your flare is actually doing.

A fixed unit with a methane OGI camera and an optical camera on the same mount — each with its own zoom — watching every flare around the clock. Combustion efficiency, flame and pilot status, and smoke, in one view. Purpose-built to check the boxes Method 22, OOOOb, and your state's flare rules care about, and to flag a flare going wrong before it becomes a finding.

Get the flare monitoring overview — what the unit watches, and how it maps to Method 22, OOOOb, and combustion efficiency. No pitch, just a scoping conversation.

We'll only use this to send your overview and set up a scoping chat.

You're in.

Check your inbox — the flare monitoring overview is on its way. We'll also reach out about a quick scoping conversation for your sites.

A CleanConnect Alta flare monitoring unit mounted on a pole at a production site, aimed at a lit flare — the methane OGI and optical cameras watching combustion, flame, and smoke.
Two cameras, one fixed unit. A methane OGI camera and an optical camera on the same mount — the invisible methane and the visible flame, in the same frame.

A thermocouple tells you the flare is lit. It won't tell you the flare is compliant — or that half the gas is slipping past unburned.

Adaptive Operational Intelligence

What the unit sees

A comprehensive, one-stop visual read on every flare — combustion, flame, and smoke — from a single fixed unit that never blinks and never has to drive out to site.

Two cameras, one view

A methane OGI camera and an optical RGB camera on the same fixed mount, each with its own independent zoom. You see the invisible methane and the visible flame in the same frame — no second trip, no second device.

Methane slip & combustion efficiency

When a flare combusts poorly, unburned methane escapes — and the OGI camera makes that plume visible. Low combustion efficiency stops being an assumption and becomes something you can actually see and record.

Flame & pilot status, 24/7

The unit knows the moment a flare goes out or a pilot drops — instead of you finding out on the next drive-by or from a thermocouple that may be lying to you. A real second opinion on whether the flame is really there.

Smoke & visible emissions

It watches for smoking and visible emissions the way a Method 22 observer would — continuously, every hour of every day, instead of a scheduled spot check that misses what happens in between.

The hardware

Meet the Alta unit

Built to live on a pole in the field, not in a server room. A sealed enclosure, two cameras behind one weather hood, and a single connector panel — nothing on site to babysit.

Two lenses, one face. The methane OGI camera up top, the optical camera below — each with independent zoom, both under the same weather hood.

One sealed panel. Weatherproof Ethernet and power connectors on a machined plate — hookup is two cables, and the enclosure stays sealed against the site.

Field-ready, connected. Powder-coated shell, hooded optics, and onboard antennas for connectivity — mounted once, watching always.
One unit, every box

Compliance and operations, from the same camera

Flares have to satisfy regulators and keep running right. Most sites solve those with separate tools, separate visits, and separate paperwork. Alta is built to do both from one fixed position.

Compliance coverage

  • EPA Method 22 — continuous visible-emissions and smoke observation, automated instead of a timed manual reading
  • NSPS Subpart OOOOb — supports the continuous flame-presence and proper-operation evidence the rule expects
  • State & local flare rules — a visual record for the flaring and combustion requirements in your operating states
  • Combustion-efficiency evidence — methane-slip imaging as a record that the flare is actually destroying the gas

Operational coverage

  • Flare-out and pilot-loss alerts the moment they happen
  • Smoking-flare detection before it becomes a complaint or a finding
  • Faulty thermocouple catch — see when the flare reads lit but isn't, or reads out but isn't
  • Thermocouple-replacement flag — a visual truth check that tells you when the sensor, not the flare, is the problem

Alta gives your team the continuous visual evidence these programs rely on; it supports your compliance workflow and does not replace your regulatory determinations. We'll map exactly which requirements apply to your sites in the scoping conversation.

How it works

Mounted once, watching always

1

One fixed unit, aimed at the flare

The Alta unit mounts on a pole with a clear line to the flare. Methane OGI and optical cameras, independent zooms, no one on site and no new sensors on the stack.

2

It watches combustion, flame & smoke

Around the clock, it reads pilot and flame status, surfaces methane slip when combustion drops, and watches for visible emissions — all from the same position.

3

You get the record and the alert

A compliance-ready visual record you can hand to a regulator, plus a real-time alert the moment a flare goes out, starts smoking, or starts slipping methane.

Detection performance is an evolving capability shown here for illustration, and every event is backed by the footage so your team can verify any call for themselves. We'll walk through coverage and camera placement for your specific sites in the scoping conversation.
