Apparatus and method for capturing and combusting all vented natural gas and control natural gases from pneumatic controllers for oil field equipment are described. After an oil or gas well is drilled and completed, separators or treaters, as an example of oil field equipment, are installed on the surface to separate the liquids (oil/condensate and water) and gases (natural gas/methane). Pressure control valves, liquid control valves, temperature control valves, and the like, are pneumatically operated by the natural gas/methane that the separator is processing for sale, when electricity is not available to provide power for these operations. Presently, the pneumatic controllers discharge the pneumatic gas/methane to the atmosphere.

A water heating system configured to activate a pump such that the water flows between a boiler and a hydronic heating system. When a heat source is firing at a preexisting firing rate, the system maintains firing the heat source at the preexisting firing rate for a time period, and measures temperatures of water at a boiler water inlet and at a boiler water outlet. When the heat source is not firing, the system prevents firing the heat source for a time period, and measures temperatures of water at the boiler water inlet and at the boiler water outlet. The system calculates temperature differences between the measured temperatures at different times during the time period, and controls the heat source to provide heat to the boiler heat exchanger at a firing rate determined based on a comparison between the temperature differences.
