A Burner Management System (BMS) is a control system that safely starts, monitors, and shuts down industrial burners. It’s essential for protecting equipment, ensuring safe operation, and meeting regulatory requirements.

A BMS is necessary because it provides:

• Safety – Automatically shuts down the burner if unsafe conditions are detected.
• Compliance – Helps meet industry standards like NFPA 87 and local codes.
• Efficiency – Ensures proper ignition sequences, minimizing fuel waste and reducing downtime.
• Reliability – Continuously monitors burner status to maintain consistent operation.

SureFire’s BMS goes beyond the basics by offering hot surface ignition, a simple, user-friendly interface, and industry-leading support — built to perform consistently in the real conditions your operation faces every day.

SureFire offers both piloted and pilotless ignition systems, depending on your application and regulatory requirements.

Piloted ignition systems use a small flame (pilot) to ignite the main burner. These are required for combusters, flares, and are commonly utilized with heater treaters to ensure continuous readiness and compliance. SureFire’s piloted systems are built with the same rugged reliability and hot surface ignition technology to ensure consistent performance even in harsh environments.

SureFire’s Pilotless systems, on the other hand, are revolutionizing the industry by eliminating the pilot and associated fuel trains altogether by using hot surface ignition to light the main burner directly. This design reduces fuel usage, minimizes components, and simplifies maintenance — making it ideal for applications like heater treaters, line heaters, tanks, and separators. We generally recommend pilotless systems for these types of equipment due to their reliability, simplicity, and lower operational cost.

Whether your site requires a piloted or pilotless solution, SureFire provides ignition systems engineered for safety, compliance, and uptime

SureFire’s Burner Management System stands out because of its industry-leading hot surface ignition technology, which provides reliable, sparkless ignition even in the harshest environments. Unlike traditional systems that rely on spark ignition prone to failure, SureFire’s design eliminates common ignition issues caused by weather, moisture, and mechanical wear.

We also offer a user-friendly, simple interface with no complex menus to navigate, making operation straightforward and hassle-free. Our systems are backed by industry-leading warranties and 24/7 customer support, reflecting our commitment to product reliability and long-term customer satisfaction.

Additionally, our BMS supports fast installation, seamless integration with existing control systems, and compliance with key safety standards. The result is a safer, more efficient system that minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.

SureFire’s ignition technology uses hot surface ignition instead of traditional spark ignition, which makes it far more reliable in harsh conditions like wind, rain, snow, and freezing temperatures. Unlike spark systems that can fail due to exposure or moisture, our hot surface igniters provide consistent, maintenance-free ignition—dramatically reducing burner downtime and costly technician visits.

This technology eliminates the common failure points of spark igniters, resulting in safer, more efficient burner startups and long-term operational reliability.
