LNG Canada deploys first docked drone for flare monitoring

Synopsis

LNG Canada has launched the first docked drone deployment in Canada, using a custom thermal filter to monitor flare combustion at temperatures reaching 1,200°C. This continuous aerial perspective provides operators with detailed insights that are difficult or impossible to capture through traditional inspection methods.

By integrating docked drones into daily operations, LNG Canada is setting a new benchmark for industrial inspections in extreme environments, improving both safety and efficiency while creating a model that can be replicated across other energy facilities.
