FAQs

Profire Energy is an oilfield technology company. We provide burner management products and services to the oil and gas industry. Profire’s products help these companies increase efficiency, improve safety, and reduce harmful byproducts.

In the oil and natural gas industry, various applications are used in the production and transportation of oil and natural gas. These applications require heat, which is used to facilitate the proper function of the application. To provide that heat, a burner is used within the application. Our primary products monitor and manage this burner.

Without a burner management system, a worker will ignite the burner manually by using a long stick with a burning rag at the end and extending it near the burner. This is not only dangerous, but requires a worker to discover that the burner flame is extinguished, often resulting in unnecessary downtime of the application. When the burner is reignited by a worker, it will typically run continuously—often needlessly—until the flame is again extinguished and the process is repeated.

A burner management system monitors the burner, reignites it automatically when needed, and can even manage the temperature set-points (which can be set by the user). In this way, a burner management system allows for more efficient burner operation and re-ignition, improved safety, and improved compliance with regulatory bodies.

Profire Energy got its start in 2002, when Profire Combustion was first incorporated. As Profire Combustion grew, it eventually became a wholly owned subsidiary of Profire Energy (a public company) when it was acquired in 2008. In 2025, Profire Energy was acquired by CECO Environmental Corp (a publicly traded company traded on the NASDAQ Exchange under the ticker symbol CECO). The Profire brand is known, and our products are sold around the world and Profire Energy continues to grow today.
