ELEVATED FLARE STACK INSPECTION AT A SOUTH AMERICAN ONSHORE REFINERY
Sector Oil Gas & Petrochemical
Region South America
Our team was approached to conduct a close visual inspection (CVI) of an elevated flare stack at an onshore refinery in South America.
Prior to our UAV inspection (which was required because the flare was not burning correctly) an initial inspection of the flare stack had taken place with a ground camera and it was deemed that the entire flare tip should be replaced.
Because the level of detail and the views available from the ground camera were limited, the refinery operator sought a second, more detailed inspection and thus opted for a CVI using drones.
Our team mobilised to South America and completed the full inspection within one day, with over 600 images, including thermal imagery, captured.
