The present invention concerns an apparatus
(10) for continuous measurement of the temperature of
an industrial plant or refinery torch, comprising an optical
coupling system (11), i.e. a system of lenses and/or mirrors
and optical fiber cables, and a spectroscopic analyzer,
as well as an electronic processor (14), apt to the
management of the data acquisition procedures and of
the storage and transmission of the same, in connection
with said spectroscopic analyser to enable the passage
of data.
The present invention additionally concerns methods
of continuous measurement of the temperature of
an industrial plant or refinery torch by means of said apparatus
