OUR SERVICES

Control Engineering

Our industry leading control engineers have the knowledge and experience to implement both simple and complex process control strategies in accordance with industry standards.

Here at IDS, we specialize in providing process control solutions for commercial utilities.

Boiler Control
Systems

Dependable Boiler Control Systems (BCS) are a key element to efficient power plant operations.

Burner Management
Systems

IDS’s design for Burner Management Systems (BMS) consists of control implementation standards.

Balance
of Plant

We have the capabilities to design and implement control and monitoring systems.

Boiler Control Systems

Dependable Boiler Control Systems (BCS) are a key element to efficient power plant operations. Our proven control strategies take full advantage of distributed architecture capabilities to provide the maximum benefit from the Control System. Features inherent in all control subgroups include:

Bumpless transfer between all modes of operation.

Automatic transmitter selection when redundant transmitters are used.

Intelligent alarming.

Device operational balancing biases are memorized.

Limit checking of operator inputs to prevent inappropriate commands.

Predefined control action upon loss of a process measurement to insure plant safety while maximizing the ability to maintain automatic control.

A family of interlocks and overrides to insure safe operation of the plant.

Burner Management Systems

IDS’s standard design for Burner Management Systems (BMS) consists of control implementation standards, which are used as the basis for all projects. Use of these standards insures continuity in design, shorter project cycles, lower implementation costs, more complete plant integration and utilization of distributed functionality, and lower life-cycle costs.

Although it is recognized that all units are different in design it is from these standard subgroups that IDS implements a control system that meets a specific plant’s design and operating requirements as well as all the recommendations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Our BMS designs are based on the following subsystems:

Purge Control

Igniter fuel trips and First-Outs

Igniter Trip Valve Control

Mill Start and Stop Sequences

PA Flow Control

Pulverizer Control

Air Damper Control

Strict Compliance with NFPA 8502

Master Fuel Trips and First-Outs

Furnace Firing Permissives

Igniter Prelight

Mill Trips and First-Outs

Igniter Logic Control

Burner Shutoff Damper Control

Feeder Control
