Course: Boiler Burner Management Systems Meeting NFPA Standards

Description:

Boiler explosions have resulted in loss of major facilities as well as loss of life. With emphasis in the industry on process safety, the design of Burner Management Systems is now more important than ever. This seminar provides an understanding of the boiler burner standards and why they are so critical to this industry.

You will be able to:

Define resources for defining design criteria

Evaluate considerations for BMS design

Understand the primary causes of furnace explosions

Explain primary shutdowns as defined by NFPA 85 Code

Understand pre-firing purge requirements for both single, and multiple-burner boilers

Discuss alarms, interlocks and emergency shutdown systems

Interpret the format of individual safety standards and how to use them appropriately

NFPA 85 Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code, other safety-related standards, and how they apply to BMS

You will cover:

NFPA 85 Boiler and combustion Systems Code 2004: Format | Use | Cross referencing information | Application to different types of boilers

ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996 standard: Application to boilers

BMS design: Considerations | Requirements for Independence / Requirements Logical Solver

Single and Multiple Burner Boilers: Permissives | Shut downs | Alarms | Purge Requirements | Requirements Comparison

Definitions: SIS and SIL as Applied to Boilers
