Burner Management System: Ensuring Safe and Efficient Combustion
A Burner Management System (BMS) is a critical control and safety solution used in industrial processes that involve combustion, such as boilers, furnaces, and heaters. Its primary role is to ensure that burners operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with stringent regulatory standards.
What Is a Burner Management System?
A BMS is an automated control system that manages the start-up, operation, and shutdown of burners. It continuously monitors fuel supply, air flow, flame presence, and other critical parameters. If unsafe conditions are detected—such as a flame failure or low fuel pressure—the system initiates an immediate shutdown to prevent explosions or equipment damage.
Core Functions
Safe Start-Up and Shutdown
Sequencing ensures burners ignite only under correct conditions.
Controlled shutdown procedures prevent sudden pressure changes or fuel leaks.
Flame Monitoring
Sensors detect the presence or absence of a flame in real time.
Immediate action is taken to cut off fuel if the flame goes out unexpectedly.
