Multi Fuel Flame Scanners

 

ABB Multi Fuel Flame Scanners are designed to detect and control burner flames across a variety of fuels, providing the accurate quality and temperature assessments your power plant and industrial operators need to be constantly aware of any unstable combustion situations.

With real-time data on DC intensity, flicker frequency, AC amplitude, quality and flame management, you can assess individual burner safety and combustion parameters, such as air-to-fuel ratio and NOx emissions, to help prevent hazards and develop advanced and efficient boiler combustion control strategies.

Suitable for both retrofit and greenfield installation, our flame scanners are operational within minutes of plug-in, and are developed to help industries comply with the most stringent safety and emission control regulatory standards.

Use Case 390x195

Safety
Prevent hazards that can lead to harm of people and environment and costly major plant shutdowns

Savings
Gain reliable flame information in multi-fuel and waste gas combustion plants and increase the boiler turndown ratio without addition of expensive fuel support

Diagnostics
Qualitative diagnostic information with the sensor characteristics and communication failures through redundant PROFIBUS or Modbus protocols

Accuracy and Precision
Access qualitative information (e.g., Temperature, Flicker Frequency, DC intensity, AC amplitude, etc.) to fine-tune combustion parameters

Nuisance free operation
Avoid nuisance burner trips by using our patented technology

SF810-PYRO and SF810i-PYRO

Our latest flame scanner families, SF810i-PYRO and SF810-PYRO offer the “Live Flame Temperature” visualization, a qualitative reading directly related to the burner combustion efficiency, such as air fuel ratio and NOx emissions.

Uvisor SF910

Uvisor SF910i Series

The SF910i product portfolio includes a set of advanced multi-fuel flame scanners designed to provide accurate, reliable information regarding the presence or absence of a burner flame and at the same time continuously monitors the burner flame quality to provide additional operating information to plant personnel. 

FAU_light

FAU810 & SF810 conventional flame scanner

The Uvisor FAU810 signal processing unit and the Uvisor SF810 flame scanner system both enable economical replacement of old or faulty flame scanner systems with separate scanners and analysis units by only replacing components where absolutely necessary, reusing wiring, cabinets and other investments

ABB Flame Explorer_light3

Flame Explorer

This ABB proprietary software enables real-time monitoring of the flame status and diagnostics data.  By connecting to the DCS via OPC, it provides flame scanner values for use in control and monitoring
