I agree with above. He used the term "flame safety". I grew up with it
being called "burner management system". Same components, just called
by different names.
Thanks sir.
you mean BMS for ignition only? how about for Boiler level?
Hi there,
Eagle Quantum Primer controller "EQP" is suitable one for the boiler
control or another system does with high temperature region which is
provided by DET-TRONICS.For more details, please visit their page

Hello,
Sorry, this is not true. EQP is a fire and gas monitoring system.
Fire detectors are looking for fire when there should be no fire.
Flame detectors are looking for flame when there should be flame.
One big difference is flame detectors will have some method to add
cooling air to the detector. Fire detectors do not have a method to add
'scanner cooling air'.
Good luck,
Mark

Hello,
It is very simple. The logic to detect a flame when looking for a flame
is different than the logic to detect a flame when you are not looking
for a flame.
In a fire detector you need to cover all kinds of false positives. In a
flame detector this is not normally the case. That is not to say a flame
detector does not attempt to prevent false positives. It is just different
because you expect to see flame with a flame detector.
Good luck,
Mark

i know that there's a lot of system integrators who can do boiler controls
(integrated to plc/dcs scada or as such). what i need to know is that if
there is any boiler OEM who doing proprietary system control for there
own manufactured boiler? i'm having head ached for having this kind of
BOSS- insisting what he wanted for his boiler... his trying to tell me that
"what if the boiler will be in compromised by the dcs control, now who's
to blame a dcs or a boiler OEM (what he mean is that a price of the entire
boiler over the price of dcs if the boiler will be explode due to miscontrol
from dcs)... huh its suck...
any opinion...
1. Yes, you can control the boiler using something other than your DCS.
There are many possible options, including a standalone PLC, an off-
the-shelf package boiler controller, single loop controllers or a control
system supplied by the Boiler Manufacturer. Of course, many boiler
manufacturers will program their controls in whatever DCS the
customer already owns.
2. If you do not "trust" your DCS then why are you controlling the rest
of your plant with it? Will a different DCS or Controller for your boiler
be any more reliable than your existing DCS?
The type of control system you need for your new boiler will depend on
many things.... What is the boiler for?, Is your boiler attended or un-
attended? What are the legal requirements for boiler control in your
country? What are your requirements for an operator HMI? What does
your production and plant management expect from the Boiler? The
best person to answer these questions is probably the boiler
manufacturer. If you have not decided on a supplier you might want to
consider hiring an independent consultant for a few days to look at your
site and requirements - because free advice off the internet about a
purchase this important is worth exactly what you paid for it.

This thread seems to be kind of all over the place. The title mentions
FSSS, which I interpret to mean Flame Scanner Safety System, and
there has been talk about BMSs (Burner Management Systems), fire
and gas monitors, fire detectors and flame detectors, and boiler drum
level control.
So maybe that's the first place one should be looking is to see what the
local legal requirements are--after understanding what the driving
issues are for control and/or protection of the boiler (new or existing)
at the boss's plant. It sure seems like there is something we're not being
told or that we're not aware of, and maybe the boss just isn't being
clear, either. (Nah; that never happens!)
Hello,
<trivia on>
And for awhile Foster Wheeler owned Forney and would attempt, to
some degree, to use Forney on their new boiler sales.
<trivia off>
