Boiler & Combustion Controls
Burner management systems, NFPA 85 compliance, combustion controls, and boiler automation for industrial steam and hot water systems.
Controls Capabilities
Boiler controls require a precise balance of combustion efficiency, safety compliance, and operational reliability. We engineer control systems that optimize fuel usage, protect equipment, and keep your steam plant running at peak performance. Every boiler project includes burner management system programming, and our boiler combustion controls guide covers O2 trim, lead/lag sequencing, and safety interlock design in detail.
Burner Management Systems
NFPA 85 compliant BMS programming with flame safeguard integration, purge sequencing, ignition trial timing, and safe shutdown logic for single and multi-burner installations.
Combustion Controls
O2 trim, parallel positioning, metering valve control, cross-limiting fuel/air ratio management, and linkageless burner control for optimal combustion efficiency.
Boiler Sequencing
Lead/lag control, load sharing across multiple boilers, efficiency-based sequencing, and automated staging to match steam demand while minimizing fuel consumption.
Safety Systems
Low water cutoff integration, high pressure shutdown, flame failure response, fuel valve proving, and emergency trip logic designed for reliable safe-state operation.
HMI & Monitoring
Boiler room dashboards with real-time efficiency trending, steam production monitoring, alarm management, and historical data logging for performance analysis.
Equipment Types
Our boiler controls experience covers the major boiler types and combustion equipment found in industrial and institutional steam plants:
Firetube Boilers
Scotch marine and other firetube designs — BMS programming, combustion tuning, feedwater control, and integrated safety systems for packaged boiler installations.
Watertube Boilers
High-pressure watertube boiler controls including drum level management, feedwater regulation, superheater temperature control, and multi-burner coordination.
Thermal Fluid Heaters
Hot oil and thermal fluid system controls with temperature regulation, flow monitoring, expansion tank management, and low-flow protection interlocks.
Process Heaters
Direct-fired and indirect process heater controls for chemical, refining, and manufacturing applications — with precise temperature management and BMS integration.
Steam Generators
Once-through and flash steam generator controls with rapid response load following, feedwater control, and safety shutdown systems.
