One heavily regulated industry that utilizes BMS is the oil and gas industry. Designed to monitor and control various equipment while heating a vessel to a desired temperature set point. Unique combination of Flame Ignition, Data Acquisition and Control Modbus Communications Designed for 12 Volts or 24 Volts; Uses Solar Power Control and Logging Ignition The BMS is designed for users to easily set parameters for ignition sequence. The number of ignition retries, delay to sense flame, time for ignition delay to open the fuel valve, and flame sense intensity are all configurable from the easy to use menu on the controller screens. Power The standard unit is powered by 12 Volts DC, making solar charging an easy option for remote, or nonpowered applications. Other power combinations are also readily available. Control With on-board inputs and outputs, the BMS can be easily configured for a variety of control sequences and shutdowns. Examples of alarm conditions would be high stack or reboiler temperature, reboiler and flash tank levels, and remote input shutdowns (based on external conditions; example-compressor shutdown). Control examples would be automated valve or drive control to maintain temperature. Logging The BMS has multiple ways of logging data. One is the ability of an on-board storage chip that can easily be removed. Data can be collected to the chip and generated into user-defined reports. With 1 to 4 Gigabytes of storage memory for logging various data points, air quality standards (like DEQ Title 5 which require 15-minute updates) are easily handled. With the extracted data customized reports can be created to meet customers needs. Another method of logging is through the retrieval of data via communications ports. The BMS has built-in Modbus communications, so data may be retrieved and logged to existing SCADA Systems via radio, phone line or modem. Models We offer multiple packages depending on customer needs and applications. We have options from an inexpensive way to safely light a pilot, control the main burner valve, monitor flame presence and acquire data to maintaining temperature at a very specific temperature set point. All control panels are rated for class I div. II locations. From all control panels it is easy to set and adjust important parameters in the controller. Alarm and shut down points, modbus addresses and baud rates, fire tube purge time, retry attempts and temperature limits are a few of the user-configurable set points. Competition Most competitors are using dated technology. With the speed of technology advances, if you are not at the forefront of designing new methods and control, your products will become obsolete. The Kimark BMS features next generation, proven devices that put us at the leading edge of technology. Ditching printed circuit boards and designing a system around a proprietary programmable logic controller, upgrades and customizability are very simple and inexpensive. Creating a flame detector that visually searches for a flame presence allowed us to create a more bulletproof system. Instead of being in the fire, the flame detector can look for a flame from a safe distance without being a wear and tear part. Many different safety measures are built upon the flame detector. Closing valves due to a flame outage, fire tube purging and auto relighting the unit were developed due to knowing the status of the burners flame. Low power consumption devices and energy efficient methods of operation lead to not wasting money on over-sized equipment. Onboard data logging and built in Modbus on every unit means you will never have to pay for an expansion card or add-on module to access these features. Safety Protecting your workers and the environment is one of the top issues addressed by our BMS. Through our process, workers will not be in harm’s way manually lighting the pilot. Raw gas will never be left spewing into an unlit fire tube and eventually vented to atmosphere. When the system is off or in a failed state, all control valves immediately close until the pilot has been reestablished. This will greatly reduce the chance for a spontaneous combustion outside the unit that can injure a worker or the environment. Features To see a list of features, click here.
