The CarbonSense Flare Monitor watches every flare with LWIR thermal imaging, RGB vision and an acoustic proxy. It infers combustion state on the device and quantifies vented CH₄ from process data for confirmed venting events.
Sense is not a molecular methane sensor. It is combustion-state inference, with quantification that is defensible by design.
CH₄ mass quantified only during confirmed VENTING, using SCADA flow — never derived from smoke or opacity. Every event carries duration, thermal evidence and an auditable trail.
States, events, vented mass and device health — from onshore clusters to FPSOs.
Embedded INT8 models run on the device itself — no data link required to infer the state of the flame.
160×120 @ 8.7 Hz. Thermal signature of the flame — the first gate of the flameout detector, with sun-glint and hot-surface rejection via FFT.
Three-class smoke classification (Ringelmann proxy 0/1/2), paired frame by frame with the thermal channel.
Flow state from the sound signature — additional evidence to tell venting apart from no flow.
Confirmed events flow into CarbonOS: vented mass enters the GHG inventory with full lineage in the Proof Engine, including duration, SCADA flow, thermal evidence and acknowledgement trail.
We are selecting operators for the CarbonSense Flare Monitor pilot — starting with sites that have critical flares and available process data. Developed within the Qualcomm AI Program for Innovators 2026.
