How do Exponent's multidisciplinary teams help you manage burner and combustion systems?
Burners and fuel are an integral part of utility, commercial, and industrial plants, but the hazards they present are often overlooked as operators focus on other equipment. Exponent leverages 50+ years' experience in failure, including analyzing equipment and machinery failures, control system design, human-machine-process interactions, and root causes, providing advanced services related to industrial and commercial combustion equipment and systems.
Exponent has helped owners and operators mitigate operating risks by evaluating designs, control systems and logic, testing procedures, and operating philosophies. Our findings have helped clients identify and remediate problems early in the design stages, including issues with safety interlocks, procedures and best practices, equipment selection, equipment installation, design documentation, and process hazard analysis.
