Disclosed is a control system for controlling the feed of a solid fuel in a combustion process. The system includes a control unit which is adapted to communicate by way of a communications link in the system, to receive from online measuring instruments online measurement data regarding a fuel coming from a fuel reception unit, and to control a feeding unit for delivering the measured fuel into a fuel silo on the basis of its content model and measurement data.

A system and method for flaring with a flare including a flare stack and a flare tip at a well site having a wellhead and a wellbore for production of crude oil or natural gas, or both, providing produced fluid including hydrocarbon from the wellhead to the flare stack, discharging the produced fluid from the flare tip through a nozzle discharge opening, combusting the hydrocarbon of the produced fluid as discharged from the flare tip, and a control system adjusting flow area of the nozzle discharge opening.

A flare monitoring system includes a camera configured to capture one or more images of a burning portion of a hydrocarbon gas emitted from a flare stack, memory circuitry storing instructions thereon, and processing circuitry configured to execute the instructions to estimate a flow rate of the hydrocarbon gas based on first data corresponding to the one or more images, and based on second data corresponding to an internal diameter of the flare stack.

A method for processing material that contains biomass. The material is led onto a conveyor. The conveyor conveys the material to an apparatus for mechanical processing and/or to a further processing plant. The moisture content is measured and/or the size of pieces of non-combustible material and/or the content of non-combustible material in the material flow is measured in connection with the conveyor. Based on at least one of the measurements, material is conveyed to the material to be conveyed for further processing and/or to the apparatus for mechanical processing, or to at least one material to be conveyed elsewhere than to the further processing plant or the apparatus for mechanical processing. Also a system for processing material that contains biomass.
