Myriad industrial process heating applications employ combustion systems, which are associated with a number of hazards. Despite these hazards, however, it is possible to keep industrial combustion systems operating safely and without event.
Process heating with fuel-fired burners is the most effective and cost-efficient method of heating. Personnel safety, production equipment protection and maintaining production schedules are all best served by understanding safety requirements.
Combustion safeguard system provide continuous, automatic protection against the buildup of combustible fuel mixtures due to flame failure or other faults in ovens, boilers, furnaces and other heating equipment.
