Boiler control

Boiler control used

The primary objective of most boiler operations is maintaining availability, or uptime. Many facilities have more than one boiler on-site running in parallel.
It is essential to maintain and upgrade the boiler control systems to assure steam availability. Modern controls are more reliable and can readily adjust to load swings caused by varying overall plant operations.

Failure to comply with current emissions regulations can be as costly as lost utilities.
Government mandates enforced by fines, threat of closure, or imprisonment will usually provide sufficient incentive to comply with the regulations and modernize controls if necessary.
Improved combustion efficiency reduces unwanted combustion by-products.
Anything that goes into the manufacture of a product (raw materials, fuel, air, water, etc.) that is not in the final product is wasted cost.
This can also create added waste disposal problems.
By accurately controlling oxygen, fuel flow, and stack temperature, you will see reductions in plant emissions.

A modern control system will provide tight integration with the flame safety or burner management system to improve safety.
Having access to field data, diagnostics, and alarms, coupled with modern electronic controls, can achieve the desired level of safety and security.
Password security of configuration software also assures no unintended changes are made which could endanger your personnel or equipment.

Improve combustion efficiency to reduce fuel consumption by reducing excess air
Reduce engineering, installation, and start-up costs
Reduce maintenance costs associated with older, less reliable equipment.
Reduce manpower requirements by automatically responding to load changes
Provide a flexible control strategy to reduce or eliminate process upsets
Readily make data available for remote monitoring to determine process unit optimization, boiler efficiency, and load allocation.
