In this article we will go throw some Standard burner safety logic for initial lighting of the burner and also we are going to implement these logics in ladder format using SUPCON DCS system ECS700 Series.
A Mechanical device that performs lean combustion between 2 or more fuels in a controlled manner is called as the burner.
Burners present fire hazards. They produce a flame and burn at a high temperature in the furnace and as a result, there is potential for an accident to occur.
The Industrial burner has covered about half of the market and is growing rapidly.
Below are some good advantage of burners to overcome the traditional firing of the boiler.
The ESS is a switch provided for a boiler operator on the control panel to stop the burner in the Emergency condition.
When you are initially firing a burner the heavy motor used in boiler should not be in ON state.
Suppose we want to burn biogas the pressure of biogas line as assigned should be 350mBar. These signal will be provided by the pressure switch.
The flame scanner is provided for burner safety and feedback whether flame in furnace is present or not.

Now if all the above safety logics are satisfied then the burner will enable its start button for boiler operator. And after that, the purging cycle will start.
Figure (a): Burner Safety Logic
It is nothing but the clearing of the entire flue gas path for any combustibles that are leftover in the furnace. This cycle is performed by FD fan and ID fan.
Figure (b) Purging cycle.
As per the program in fig (a) if any of the condition during the purging cycle fails then we need to reset the burner manually through the HMI and again start the burner.
Figure (c) shows that during purging we got a DI signal from flame Scanner.
Now successfully when we complete the purging cycle the burner is ready for firing.
In this topic, we will go through the process after starting the burner and how the steam is generated in the boiler along with the flow diagram fig (d)
Figure (d)
When the burner gets to start with all the safeties interlock of boiler and burner itself. The natural circulation of water started as the steam generation takes place.
The flue gas from the furnace passes through the superheater, economizer, ESP and last to the duct of the chimney. The flow diagram in figure (e).
Figure (e)
The water from the RO plant is stored in the feed water tanks, then the water flows to deaerator to economizer the let water to flow into the steam drum and after that, the steam goes through superheater and at last the main steam line which is utilized by the customer as per its process.
