Burner Management SYSTEMS

Burner Management Systems control and monitor combustion processes during start-up, operation, and shutdown.

They manage burners and boilers to prevent unsafe conditions and support stable and reliable plant operation.

Safe Start-Up and Shutdown

Controlled ignition and shutdown sequences manage critical phases of combustion processes. This ensures stable operation and prevents unsafe conditions during start-up and shutdown.

Continuous Flame Monitoring

Burner Management Systems continuously monitor flame presence to maintain stable combustion. Any loss of flame is detected immediately, preventing unburned fuel accumulation and enabling rapid response to ensure safe operation.

Fuel Safety Control

Fuel supply is monitored and controlled to ensure that fuel is only released under safe conditions and that hazardous fuel-air mixtures are avoided. This supports stable and reliable combustion throughout operation.

Integration into Combustion Systems

Burner Management Systems are integrated during the design and implementation of combustion systems, where safe ignition, shutdown, and fuel control must be defined. They form the safety layer for burners and boilers, ensuring that safety functions operate independently while interfacing with the process control system.

How HIMA Burner Management Systems Work

Control, Regulate, Protect Traditional burner controls are no longer sufficient in times of increasingly strict safety standards and environmental regulations. Those who are responsible for thermal processes and steam generators also need systems for furnance regulation and boiler protection. This may sound like additional effort, but it can actually make processes more efficient. With the HIMA BCS application you maintain full control of all system components. But what does this exactly mean? Temperature, pressure, mass flow and volumetric flow rates, and furnace performance are automatically adjusted to the ideal operating conditions and stabilized. This ensures that you maintain maximum availability of your facility.
Combined Control HIMA BCS application is configured for multi-burner systems and multi-fuel burner systems. A wide variety of fuels or residual materials can be obtained in combination through combustion air. This saves your engineers valuable maintenance and repair time while lowering operating costs. Additional system components are not required.

Centralized operation and observation of the firing process is supported by extensive and powerful communication interfaces and protocols.
TÜV approved HIMA BCS application is drawn from the many years of experience of HIMA's application engineers. They are experts in the field of safety technology, and they also have expert knowledge of the required standards in the process industry. Regardless of the purpose for which you use the HIMA solutions: You can always be sure that all applicable regulations are complied with.

In addition, each individual function block of HIMA BCS application has been tested and approved by TÜV, for example: fuel-air monitoring. This makes it easy to gain approval for your individual safety system.
Cybersecurity Cybersecurity has become an essential component of industrial safety. An event that triggered this was when a German steel mill was attacked by hackers a few years ago. The attackers were able to manipulate a blast furnace and cause serious damage.

With HIMA safety controllers such attacks haven't got a chance, because HIMA safety controllers run independently of the process control system. Hardware and communication are physically separated.

Moreover, all program sections and running processes can be safeguarded individually with passwords, and adapted individually without repercussions for the rest of the safety control system.

This has been certified by the renowned Achilles Certification.
