OPTIMAL CONTROL OF THE AEROSOL SCATTERING MODE EMITTED FROM GAS FLARES
(pp. 56-61)

Abstract. The problem of the best dispersion of aerosol emitted from gas flares is formulated. The problem is solved by further developing the wellknown Sky-LOSA theory developed for measuring the total amount of aerosol mass generated in flares. The optimization criterion is the possibility of detecting the minimum aerosol mass in this direction. The possibility of controlling gas combustion adaptively when the torch generates a minimum aerosol mass is shown. An algorithm for implementing the method is proposed.

Keywords: aerosol, torch, optimization, measurement, adaptability.
