Burner Management Systems (BMS)

Burner management programming and integration support for gas-fired combustion equipment, with logic configured to support NFPA 86 BMS sequences specified by the OEM / PE of record for oxidizers, furnaces, boilers, process heaters, and atmosphere systems; final site compliance remains the customer's or OEM's responsibility.

Burner controls made visible from permissives through shutdown.

The BMS sequence view shows the order of events that operators and maintenance teams care about: permissives, purge, ignition, run state, and fault handling.

  • Field permissives and flame safeguard status tied into PLC/HMI visibility.
  • Pre-purge, pilot, main flame, and shutdown states presented as a clear sequence.
  • Fault response and alarm context kept visible for faster troubleshooting.

Controls Capabilities

We implement combustion logic that prioritizes safe operation from light-off through shutdown, with Allen-Bradley and Siemens implementations that fit existing HMI and SCADA architectures. Final compliance review remains with the customer, OEM, and their retained licensed professionals.

Flame Supervision

UV/IR detector integration, flame failure response, and dependable fault handling.

Ignition Sequencing

Pre-purge, pilot ignition, main flame establishment, and repeatable restart logic.

Safe Shutdown Logic

E-stop response, trip handling, pressure proving, and fail-safe valve state control.

Combustion Control & Platform Integration

Air/fuel ratio, O2 trim, and BMS logic deployed on ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and Siemens platforms.

Equipment Types

Our burner management work spans thermal oxidizers and other gas-fired process equipment, including furnaces, kilns, ovens, and atmosphere systems, atmosphere generator controls, and boiler combustion systems.

Thermal Oxidizers & RTOs

Combustion chamber control, HGBP strategy, and valve-related safety sequencing.

Industrial Furnaces

Multi-zone burner management with atmosphere, temperature, and permissive control.

Atmosphere Generator Systems

Gas-train permissives, pressure proving, alarm handling, operator visibility, and furnace interlocks for exothermic and endothermic atmosphere generator integration.

Boilers & Steam Generators

Burner sequencing, pressure trips, low-water protection, and combustion coordination.

Process Heaters, Kilns & Catalytic Oxidizers

Preheat burners, high-temperature safeguards, and burner logic matched to the process.
