GAS TURBINES AND COMPRESSION STATIONS – Sophisticated solutions

World leading manufacturer of flame monitoring systems for gas turbines, with complete mature solutions of the highest quality and reliability. The broadband flame scanner is equipped with a two-color sensor and allows separate adjustment of UV and IR sensitivity. The automatic control is specially adapted to gas turbines and works reliably in all load ranges. These technologies have been developed in close collaboration with gas turbine manufacturers and operators and have been proven to keep their promise.

Fiber optic technology ensures that maintenance-free flame monitoring systems work even with the strongest vibrations and highest ambient temperatures up to 400ºC / ~750ºF, offering fiber optic lances, UV and IR cables and scanner heads to integrate the specific solution:

POWER PLANTS – Safe Monitoring

BFI Automation has been supplying flame monitoring systems to power plants since 1973, suitable for all fuels and fuel combinations with high selectivity and covering different spectral ranges with high reliability.

UV semiconductor sensors have revolutionized extraneous light protection, a very important aspect for multi-burner systems such as steam generators. BFI systems have accompanied since its inception the development and use of low-emission and low-NOx burners in power plants.

The latest generation of CFC4000 flame monitors provides operating personnel with a complete overview of all firing equipment thanks to sensor networking and graphical display of raw flame signals. Understanding the interaction between burner parameters and the combustion process helps them control ignition equipment more accurately and detect faulty flame patterns more quickly, using the state-of-the-art compact controller that combines flame and amplifier in one device. The CFC4000 model can use amplitude and frequency for flame selection, and can be remotely parameterized via RS232:

CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY – Safely incinerate

BFI Automation supplies compact SIL3 flame scanners independent of fuel type, for all combustion processes in a chemical and/or petrochemical plant, such as sulfur recovery plants (Claus process), cracking furnaces, heat treatment, energy recovery , combustion of residual sludge, pesticides, gases and contaminated residual fluids, chimneys. gases, tar and resins.

The flame scanner 7.0 specially developed for this task thus meets the demand for reliable flame monitoring of variable fuel compositions and its measuring principle is protected by patents.  It enables flame monitoring systems far superior to the conventional optical systems used so far, with fully electronic design, without mechanical moving parts.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS – advanced and reliable

Only manufacturer of flame monitoring systems that covers the complete range, from a domestic burner to large scale steam generators. Burner size is not a concern. The wide range of flame control equipment always has the right solution for many industrial, compact, processor-controlled combustion systems, fiber optic technology, wide range of accessories.

Model CFC1000 is the right choice for simple applications, with flame scanner with integrated flame amplifier and flame relay, TÜV approved, CSA and UL listed, SIL3 certified, for continuous or intermittent operation.
