There is no way around it: The functionally safer a system is built, the less reliable it becomes. Typically, process control systems are built with one or more independent protection layers (IPL).

Registration is open for two Industrial Heating Equipment Association’s seminars. The combustion seminar and the safety standards and codes seminar will be held concurrently November 9-10 at the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland. The fall seminars include a joint tabletop exhibition and reception November 9. 

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. 

Interested in learning more about steam generation, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, combustion safety via LFL process monitoring, industrial heaters or industrial ovens? Tap our on-demand webinars as well as a new resource from the Department of Energy.

The importance of safety in industrial ovens, furnaces and other combustion systems cannot be overstated. Hundreds of combustion-related incidents and near misses occur every year, resulting in millions of dollars in business interruption, facility damage, lawsuits, fines, litigation and lost marketshare.

Rockford Systems LLC expanded its industrial safety solution portfolio into the fuel and thermal safety fields by launching a Combustion Safety division. The newly formed division will provide turnkey solutions for organizations that use thermal processes in their operations.
