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.

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.
