Burner Management and Combustion Control for Power Generation Fired Systems
Power generation sites rely on fired support systems for steam production, HRSG support, heat recovery, auxiliary heat, backup readiness, fuel conditioning, and emissions control. Profire helps teams match burner management, fuel delivery, combustion control, diagnostics, and visibility to the fired equipment package, operating mode, site requirements, and generation-support role.

Why Power Generation Operations Choose Profire
Reliable Combustion for Power Availability
Fired support equipment has to start when needed and run consistently because trips can affect steam production, CHP output, backup readiness, heat recovery, or plant support systems. Profire helps teams manage burners on boilers, duct burners, auxiliary heaters, oxidizers, combustors, and other fired systems tied to power availability.
Safer Startup & Shutdown for Fired Systems
Profire burner management systems help control ignition, flame supervision, permissive checks, diagnostics, and safe shutdown logic across boilers, duct burners, auxiliary heaters, oxidizers, combustors, and flares. That gives operators a more repeatable way to manage fired-equipment startup and shutdown.
Visibility for Plant Operators & Maintenance Teams
When fired support equipment trips or operating conditions change, plant operators and maintenance teams need clear information fast. Profire supports alarm visibility, event history, diagnostics, data logging, and communications integration across fired equipment where controller configuration and site infrastructure allow.
Support for New Builds, Retrofits & Plant Upgrades
Power generation projects may involve OEM packages, legacy fired systems, plant standards, outage windows, documentation needs, commissioning constraints, and long-term serviceability expectations. Profire supports application review, engineered burner management and combustion controls, startup support, training, troubleshooting, and practical upgrade paths within the project’s fired equipment scope.

Power Generation Frequently Asked Questions
What fired equipment is used in Power Generation?
Power generation facilities may use boilers, steam generators, duct burners, auxiliary heaters, fuel gas heaters, combustors, flares, and thermal oxidizers. These fired systems can support steam production, HRSG support, heat recovery, backup readiness, fuel conditioning, plant utilities, and emissions-control applications.
Where are burner management systems used in power plants?
Burner management systems are used on power generation fired equipment that needs controlled ignition, flame supervision, permissive checks, diagnostics, and safe shutdown. This can include boilers, steam generators, duct burners, auxiliary heaters, fuel conditioning heaters, thermal oxidizers, combustors, and flares.
Why do boilers and steam generators need reliable burner management?
Boilers and steam generators need reliable burner management because they supply heat for steam production, plant utilities, startup readiness, and power-generation support. A BMS helps the system start safely, prove flame, monitor operating conditions, provide clearer alarm information, and shut down if unsafe conditions are detected.
How does combustion control support CHP systems?
CHP systems produce power while recovering useful heat for process, facility, institutional, or district energy needs. Combustion control helps manage burner performance, fuel delivery, temperature control, shutdown response, and visibility on supporting boilers, heat recovery equipment, and other fired systems. Profire supports the fired-equipment scope around CHP applications, not the turbine, generator, or electrical dispatch system.
What Power Generation fired equipment does Profire support?
Profire supports equipment such as boilers, steam generators, duct burners, auxiliary heaters, fuel conditioning heaters, combustors, flares, thermal oxidizers, and heat recovery support systems.
The right solution depends on the application, burner configuration, fuel train, draft type, communication needs, and site requirements.
Can Profire support backup, peaking, or distributed power applications?
Yes. Profire can support fired equipment tied to backup, peaking, and distributed power applications where the application fit is appropriate. This may include fuel conditioning heaters, auxiliary heating systems, boilers, oxidizers, combustors, flares, fuel trains, and burner controls tied to power availability, startup readiness, or emissions-control support.
What should power plants consider when upgrading fired equipment controls?
Power plants should consider burner configuration, fuel source, existing field devices, plant communications, shutdown requirements, outage timing, documentation, operator training, spare parts support, and long-term serviceability. Profire helps teams evaluate the burner management and combustion-control scope so upgrades can support safer startup, clearer visibility, reliable fired-equipment operation, and easier serviceability.
