Flamonitec Compact Flame Controller for ATEX Zone 2

Since BFI Automation launched the first compact flame controller for continuous operation in 1990, we have been working continuously on optimising this technology. The compact flame controller combine the former system consisting of sensor and amplifier in one housing. The compact flame controller is connected directly to the burner control or control system. This eliminates the need for additional space for the amplifier/monitor and the associated cabling. Compact flame controller are therefore not only suitable for new equipment, but especially for retrofits or conversions.

Through various sensors and expansion stages, BFI Automation offers the right and most suitable compact flame controller for every area of application.
Whether single burners with different fuels or multi-burner systems as in large power plants with bus systems, we always offer the right solution.
Almost all compact flame controller can be supplied with fibre optic technology and/or for explosion protection in zone 1 or 2.

BFI Automation

German TÜV-proofed Flame monitoring – and evaluation devices are the most prominent products in a wide spreaded BFI Product range. 

The variety of application and functionality of the devices is based upon a longstanding exchange of experience.

Flame Scanner

The BFI Automation offers a wide spectrum of flame scanners, which are developed for the operation at utility steam generators and industrial boilers. The extreme requirements to the monitoring of combustion under Low NOx- conditions was focused mainly. All flame scanners form in combination with a flame amplifier of the series 3000/ 4000 a complete flame monitoring system. The flame monitoring system 3000/4000 was developed in consideration of safety-related progresses and the optimal availability of the plant. The goal is a safe and reliable monitoring of furnaces as well as supplying criteria for the optimization of the combustion process and the reduction of pollutant emission. The system is able to distinguish different flames from burners in one combustion chamber and thus also to control selectively. 
By using wear-free sensors the flame monitoring system 3000/4000 is nearly maintenance-free and allow a reliable and longtime furnace operation. 

Flame Amplifier

The flame monitoring and rating system 3000/4000 is based upon different flame amplifier build in 19″-plug-in technic according to DIN 41494. All control logics are included and signals for the external processing are provided. The flame amplifier forms in combination with a flame scanner of the series 3000/4000 a complete flame monitoring system. It was developed under considering of safety related progresses and optimal availability of the plants. The goal is a safe and reliable monitoring of combustion plants as well as the providing of criteria for optimized combustion processes and reducing pollutant emissions. The system is able to distinguish different flames from burners in one combustion chamber and thus also to control selectively.
