Engineering BMS Excellence

Reliable, code compliant, cost-effective burner management systems

 

MICA Controls is your trusted partner

Operating any sort of fired equipment adds an extra level of risk to your operation, so it is critical that you partner with a solutions provider that has deep expertise in the design and engineering of burner management systems (BMS). MICA Controls is that partner.

The MICA Controls team has unmatched experience with BMS, having delivered solutions for a complete range of process heaters used in petrochemical, energy, utilities, and industrial applications.

The MICA team has worked on every version of the code since its implementation. In their application on large process fired equipment in the petrochemical, sour gas treating, upgrading, and refining industries we struggled with the prescriptive nature of the 2000-2015 codes, due to their complex and highly integrated nature. In the early days we worked with the AHJ to allow us to use IEC61511 as a method of proving equivalence to the prescriptive code, while using a performance based approach that is more in line with the process industries. Finally, when the 2020 version of the code was being developed, MICA worked with a team of industry experts focused on the development of Annex I, implementing a standard performance based approach to the code. 

MICA has worked on very large facilities, in some cases, addressing every piece of fired equipment on site and have always found a way to seamlessly integrate into our customers project execution strategy.

MICA's experience ensures we take into account your entire system process, not just the burner management portion of the heater, when implementing our performance based solutions. This is extremely important within integrated plant facilities where, in some cases, a prescriptive burner management solution can lead to catastrophic failures in other areas of the plant.

Our Consultative Approach

The industry is preconditioned to think that paying more means getting a better BMS.
It’s time for a new way of thinking and MICA is leading the way.

Our collaborative, consultative approach ensures your process, corporate, safety and regulatory requirements are met while achieving the most cost-effective solution possible.
