A burner management system, or shortly BMS, is a unit of components used in different production applications. They were designed to guarantee safe start-up and shutdown of the process, control and monitor the temperature, and operate the fuel trains. With automated remote burner management, controls and ignitions, they unlock the full potential of operations. There are two kinds of heated vessels designed for optimum flexibility. Direct and indirect, both highly flexible and versatile. Sophisticated design detects any abnormalities and ensures a safe operation.
Automated valves provide optimal temperature control by releasing the right amount of gas into the burner. That maintains the desired temperature. Units with user-friendly programs minimise atmospheric emissions and eliminate the possibility of a constant pilot being blown out. The user-friendly program is much safer for the operators if the backlash occurs, as it guarantees simple changing set points. Pollution control systems limit gas emissions due to more control and ensure safer working conditions. If they are not in use, the chances of accidents and fire increase. Equipment such as BMS is used at:
- Power plants
- Metallurgical plants
- Rubber and plastic manufacturing
- Oil and gas refineries
- Paper mills
- Chemical manufacturing
How does the burner management system work?
Pollution control systems monitor the presence of a pilot flame through an igniter rod and determine a safe sequence of events based on the signal. Air pollution control technology can operate in three ways. Chemical modification is where hazardous chemicals are changed into inert chemicals. Gas desulphurisation is where selective reduction methods are used to control NOx. During this process, nitrogen oxides (NOx) are converted into molecular nitrogen (N2). And the third process is hazard removal. The most straightforward air purification method generally uses air filter units. Any pollution control system manufacturer has to follow strict production parameters when designing the equipment as the process is so complex.
The advanced process starts with turning on the machine using the control panel. The 15-second delay ensures that all gas is purged from the fire tube. After the purge, the ignition sequence begins. That includes the pilot turned on to allow gas flows through the pilot nozzle, the beginning of the sparking sequence and then 5 seconds in which BMS controls the flame.
After the sensors detect and verify the flame, the BMS unit automatically opens a valve to turn on the main burner. If it’s not verified, the machine will reinitiate the process three times. If the 3rd time the flame has not been verified, the unit enters Emergency Shut Down and closes to prevent the gas from venting. Once fixed, the start-up process is initiated once again.
What are the main benefits of using pollution control systems?
A burner management system is designed for maximum flexibility during operations. With built-in changes, continuous procedures are highly available and fault-tolerant. Design is critical when it comes to state-of-the-art incinerating equipment. It guarantees efficient performance and brings advantages such as:
- Operation and personnel safety
Remote ignition saves the operator from potentially dangerous situations or possible harm. Automatic units continuously monitor burner flames and are programmed to reignite when necessary. Execution of specific safety goals helped businesses to increase safety standards and even exceed them.
- Lower emissions
Automatic re-ignition of burners results in significant emissions reduction. That stops accumulating the supply gas in the fire tube or venting it to the atmosphere.
- Reliability
Burner management system requirements are high, and reliability is the main one. If the production shuts down, the fault must be identified, as soon as possible. A reliable device provides quick identification. Such resolution minimises downtime and maximises efficiency.
Burner management system requirements and why choosing a custom-made product is best for your operations?
The pollution control system has to comply with strict regulations, guidelines and standards. These were created to avoid situations where dangerous failures could occur. Safety certifications guarantee that the machine is well suited for use in industrial plants and that the quality satisfies the high control standards. They also make sure that the monitoring equipment is compatible with the unit. Every pollution control system manufacturer strives to create dependable BMS units.
