Manage the hazards associated with burner operation through intelligent safety instrumented systems designed for industrial thermal environments. These systems help protect personnel, equipment and production by providing interlocks and permissives that help prevent mis-operation and help safely manage fault conditions. Designed to align with recognized safety standards, they support safe startups, continuous flame supervision and controlled shutdowns, when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Burner Management Systems
Burner management systems are designed to help you manage critical safety functions throughout burner operation. You benefit from sequencing capabilities designed for safe startup procedures and non-flame detection handling. Our systems help you achieve thorough pre-purge of the system before ignition, which is critical for safety. During operation, you benefit from ongoing supervision of safety limits and flame presence monitoring. When shutdown is needed, either at cycle completion or due to failures, our systems sequence safe shutdown procedures.
The systems also integrate with your combustion equipment to help regulate proper fuel and air flow, supporting safer and more efficient burner operation. These systems form the safety backbone of industrial thermal operations, helping protect equipment, personnel and production continuity
Our burner management systems are designed in accordance with multiple industry guidelines to help you support your safety compliance objectives. You benefit from systems engineered to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 85/86) requirements and Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI) standards. The systems are designed to align with ISA 84 functional safety standards and Factory Mutual loss prevention guidelines. For European operations, Gastec standards are incorporated into the design approach.
This multi-standard design approach helps you control and monitor all burner startup and shutdown sequences while supporting regulatory compliance. Our systems are engineered to initiate safety shutdown in unsafe conditions, supporting fail-safe operation in accordance with applicable safety standards. This standards-driven approach helps support consistent safety performance across complex thermal processing environments.
A complete burner management system includes multiple safety and control layers working together to support safe, reliable thermal operation across industrial environments.
- Flame switches provide flame signaling or multi-flame control capabilities when used with automatic burner control units.
- Industrial flame monitoring systems are available in various versions for different applications.
- Ignition components include transformers, generators, electrodes and flame rods.
Our burner management accessories and PFU accessories for rack-mounted devices complete the portfolio, giving you the components needed to help build safety systems designed to help meet your specific operational requirements.
