Burner and Combustion Control

Burner and Combustion Control for Process Manufacturing Operations

In the world of process manufacturing, the effective control of combustion systems is paramount. The efficient burning of fuels in industrial settings, such as refineries, petrochemical plants, and various manufacturing facilities, is essential not only for cost-effectiveness but also for environmental compliance, safety, and overall process optimization.

Cross Company Process Solutions is a leader in cutting-edge burner and combustion control solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of process manufacturing operations. We’ll work directly with you as an extension of your own team to ensure that your burner and combustion control process is efficient, safe, and optimized.

Ensuring Combustion Safety and Efficiency

Combustion controls play a pivotal role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of combustion plants across various industries. At Cross Company Process Solutions, we understand the importance of these controls in maintaining plant safety, adhering to regulatory standards, and optimizing operational efficiency.

Burner automation and combustion control systems are the linchpin of safety technology in combustion plants. They serve a dual purpose: ensuring the safe operation of the plant and maintaining precise control of combustion processes in accordance with industry standards. In case of malfunctions or critical events, these systems are equipped to execute a safety shutdown. Beyond safety, combustion controls enable plant operators to enhance operational uptime and overall efficiency.

Intricate combustion control systems may comprise multiple modules housed separately, underscoring the versatility and adaptability required in contemporary industrial processes.

Benefits of Precise, Reliable Process Control

Burner and combustion control are critical components of process manufacturing operations, ensuring safe and efficient operation while meeting environmental and production goals. Cross Company Process Solutions offers a range of combustion control solutions, from simple burner controls to complex safety instrumented systems (SIS) using programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Our integrated approach, combining controls and equipment, guarantees compatibility and reliability.

Optimized Efficiency

Burner and combustion control systems allow you to optimize the operating time and efficiency of your plant. By regulating fuel-to-air ratios and controlling burners, they help maximize energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Fuel Savings

Improved control of the combustion process can result in significant fuel savings. For example, tuning burners to operate with less excess air can lead to substantial fuel savings, enhancing your bottom line.

Flexibility

These systems offer flexibility by allowing you to configure process parameters and control burners using different fuels. This adaptability can be invaluable when dealing with various combustion processes and fuel combinations.

Leveraging PLCs for Enhanced Process Control

There are many benefits to leveraging PLCs for burner and combustion control applications. Some of those benefits include

Centralized Control – Safety PLCs can perform the entire control strategy, from combustion safeguard functions to process control requirements, using PID control loops for temperature regulation and more.

Communication Capabilities – Modern PLCs can communicate with higher-level computer systems through open networks, enabling advanced modeling and predictive control methods.

Enhanced Flame Detection – Flame sensors act as flame switches, sensing flame presence and signal strength and providing discrete inputs to the PLC. This simplifies system design and allows equipment manufacturers to choose the most suitable flame-detection system independently of the PLC supplier.

Improved Diagnostics – Wiring safety-relevant devices individually to safety PLC input channels provides comprehensive diagnostic functions for troubleshooting burner shutdowns and faults. Safety-rated input and output modules often include diagnostics for detecting issues like broken wires or short circuits.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
