Industrial Burners maintenance in areas of difficult access

Soluciones Integrales de Combustión has recently completed the industrial burners maintenance in areas of difficult access, such as this in an automotive factory. To carry out this work, the company has used a lifting platform, which has allowed it to access the combustion equipment, without having to affect the general production of the plant.

The equipment in this installation is made up of radiant tube burners, used for heating the facilities.

Industrial burners are the key element in combustion installations and in boiler rooms. These equipments is responsible for mixing the fuel (either liquid, gaseous or biomass) with the comburent, producing the necessary ignition to start the combustion process, through the injection of that flame generated inside the combustion chamber. With this essential role, it becomes the “heart” of the installation, which requires proper maintenance so that combustion is optimal and prevents the excessive generation of pollutants.

The proper technical service and maintenance of the burners avoids problems in the processes, such as higher energy consumption, higher polluting emissions, insulation damage and equipment blackouts. Therefore, it minimizes failures and stops and extends the useful life of industrial boilers.

Types of industrial burners maintenance

Industrial Burners commissioning services

As it is one of the most important components for the optimal functioning of a thermal installation or boiler room, the commissioning and adjustment service of the burner, after its delivery by the manufacturer, is essential for its correct installation. Integral Combustion Solutions has a team made up of expert technicians focused on providing adequate technical assistance to the equipment.

Preventive burner maintenance

Industrial burners require preventive maintenance services, that is, the performance of those operations that ensure optimal energy performance and guarantee the correct safety conditions during the useful life of the burner. Manufacturers recommend good preventive maintenance work as the best way to avoid malfunctions and operate at the maximum capacity of the equipment.

Corrective burner maintenance

Corrective maintenance addresses the repairs necessary to respond to breakdowns and failures in its operation. They usually entail stopping the equipment for its repair, which entails costs for the plant. Consider the following tasks:

• General function checking
• Burner ignition
• Emissions Review (Efficient Burning vs. Inefficient Burning of Fuel)
• Checking the safety elements of the mechanismom
• Verification of possible damage or deterioration of the thermal insulation
• Verification of the values ​​of thermostats and pressure switches
• Fuel pressure regulation checking
• Review and cleaning of all elements, especially gas filters in order to avoid pressure drops
• Flue gas analysis
• Checking for possible gas leaks
• Review of gas regulation diaphragms
• Verification of electrical connections and of the automatic control program for switching on and off
