Burner Management Systems

Safe operation of boilers, burners, furnaces and heaters

Boilers, burners, furnaces and fired heaters are often critical components of process operations. Managing their sequencing, while running different operating modes and states, can present complex challenges.

Solution

SIL 3 BMS systems increase safety and reliability:

Inhibit startup until safe conditions are met
Initiate safe operating conditions
Protect against unsafe conditions; shut down if unsafe conditions exist
Provide operators with vital status information
Automate ignition and purging activities
Interlock functions until specific safe conditions are met

Benefits

Designed and engineered for optimum flexibility — choice of form factors, termination options, centralized and distributed architecture
Inherent diagnostics, redundancy management, and error checking — no user programming required
Continuous operation — high-availability, fail-safe, and fault-tolerant architecture, hot spare slot, online modifications, built-in changes, and module replacements

Universal connectivity with all major process automation systems — integrated, interfaced, or separate options available
Support for all applications — emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas (F&G), burner management systems (BMS), high integrity pressure protection solutions (HIPPS), turbomachinery control (TMC)
