COMBUSTION SERVICES THAT KEEP YOU OPERATING SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY
For more than 90 years, Bloom Engineering has been supporting heavy industry with energy optimization and environmental solutions, including services. We offer comprehensive support for all types and makes of industrial burners, burner management systems and related equipment. Our experienced field support teams are committed to address all of your safety, environmental sustainability, product quality, productivity, and energy efficiency needs, giving your plant a meaningful competitive advantage.
Safety and Environmental Compliance
Compliance support and safety inspections for insurance, regulatory, and codes for the following areas:
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 85/86 and EN 746-2
- OSHA MACT & RACT (Occupational Safety and Health Administration Maximum Achievable Control Technology & Reasonably Available Control Technology)
- Operational Support (Training, Work Procedures, Documentation)
- Upgrades & Modernizations to Improve Safety & Environmental Protection, Productivity & lower energy costs
CONTROLS ENGINEERING
The Controls Engineering Department at Bloom Engineering is responsible for the design, development, implementation, and commissioning of automated control systems.
Working with various technologies, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, we control and optimize industrial burners, furnaces, machinery, equipment, and processes.
Some of the systems require regulatory-type control while other systems require safety-related controls and interlocks. All controls are designed and built in compliance with industry standards, best practices, and applicable codes. Quality is assured through thorough testing and validation of the control systems.
Continuous improvement is a strategic objective by reviewing and collaborating on new advancements in control theory, technology, and automation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is utilized periodically to optimize both the work processes and the control system applications.
