Industrial Burner Installation
We design and install burner systems tailored to your industrial requirements, covering gas, oil, and dual-fuel configurations from 100 kW to 30 MW. Every installation begins with a detailed site assessment to determine the correct equipment sizing, fuel supply specifications, and integration requirements for your specific application. Our team handles all aspects of the installation including burner positioning, gas train assembly and connection, control system integration, flue and ducting work, and electrical wiring. Once physically installed, we carry out comprehensive commissioning procedures including pressure testing of all gas lines, leak detection on every joint and connection, control system programming and configuration, precision combustion tuning across the full firing range, and complete safety system verification. Every industrial installation we complete is fully documented and certified, with a Certificate of Compliance (COC) issued upon successful commissioning. We use only genuine OEM components from leading manufacturers including BALTUR, Riello, DUNGS, MADAS, Honeywell, and Siemens, ensuring long-term reliability and full warranty protection. Our installations are designed to meet all relevant safety and environmental standards including SANS 10087-1, OSHA requirements, and local municipal regulations.
Burner Repairs & Maintenance
Quick response repair services and preventative maintenance to reduce downtime and extend equipment lifespan. Our industrial repair service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with emergency call-outs typically arriving on site within 2 hours in Gauteng. Our technicians carry extensive spares in their service vehicles for rapid on-site repairs of most common industrial burner faults. Our systematic diagnostic approach uses advanced test equipment including flue gas analysers, combustion meters, and electronic control system diagnostic tools to quickly identify root causes. We check all potential failure points including fuel supply systems, ignition components, flame detection systems, combustion air supplies, control systems, and safety interlocks. For preventative maintenance, we offer flexible programmes tailored to your equipment type, usage intensity, and operational requirements. Our maintenance visits include comprehensive inspection, cleaning, combustion tuning, safety system testing, and detailed service reporting. Regular maintenance typically extends equipment life by 30 to 50 percent and improves fuel efficiency by 2 to 5 percent.
Burner Upgrades & Retrofits
Modernise your industrial combustion systems to improve fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and ensure ongoing regulatory compliance. Our retrofit projects typically deliver 10 to 20 percent fuel savings with payback periods of 12 to 24 months, making them one of the most cost-effective capital investments available to industrial facilities. We specialise in upgrading older pressure-jet burners with modern electronic cam-assisted burners, replacing outdated control systems with PLC-based platforms, and adding variable speed drives to combustion air fans for improved efficiency. Our team handles the complete retrofit process including site assessment, equipment specification and sourcing, removal of old equipment, structural modifications if required, installation of new components, control system integration, commissioning, and post-installation performance verification. We also handle fuel type conversions, converting from heavy fuel oil to natural gas, LPG, or dual-fuel configurations. All retrofit work is fully compliant with SANS 10087-1 and includes complete documentation and certification.
Combustion System Audits
Our thorough inspections include flue gas analysis, burner performance reporting, and comprehensive safety checks. We conduct detailed flue gas analysis across the full firing range measuring oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and flue gas temperature. This data allows us to calculate combustion efficiency at each firing rate and identify opportunities for optimisation. Our auditors also inspect the complete gas train for component condition, correct sizing, and regulatory compliance. Safety system testing includes valve proving tests, leak detection verification, flame detection response timing, and emergency shutdown function validation. Control system operation is reviewed including setpoints, alarm configurations, and interlock functionality. Following the audit, we provide a detailed written report with findings categorised by priority level, along with clear recommendations and budget estimates for any remedial work identified. Our audits are particularly valuable for facilities preparing for insurance renewals, regulatory inspections, or capital improvement planning.
COC Certification & Compliance
Full Certificate of Compliance issuance for all industrial gas installations and burner systems. Our SAGA-registered gas practitioners conduct thorough inspections of every aspect of your industrial gas installation including pipework integrity, pressure testing, valve functionality, ventilation adequacy, appliance connections, and safety device operation. We ensure your facility meets all applicable standards including SANS 10087-1, OSHA requirements, environmental regulations, and insurance company specifications. If any deficiencies are found during inspection, we provide a detailed report and quotation for rectification work. Once the necessary corrections are completed, we re-inspect and issue the COC. For industrial facilities requiring ongoing compliance assurance, we offer periodic inspection services that help you maintain certified status and identify potential issues before they become problems.
Gas Train Maintenance
Comprehensive servicing of gas trains, safety valves, regulators, and shutdown systems. The gas train is the most critical safety system on any industrial burner installation, and regular maintenance is essential for safe operation and regulatory compliance. Our gas train maintenance service includes full visual inspection of all components, leak testing of all joints and connections using electronic leak detectors and spray-on detection fluids, valve proving tests to verify tight shut-off of safety valves, pressure regulator performance testing and recalibration, pressure switch setpoint verification and adjustment, and solenoid valve function testing. We also inspect and test flame detection systems, emergency shutdown valves, and gas detection systems where installed. All maintenance activities are documented in detailed service reports with certification records for compliance purposes. We carry comprehensive stock of DUNGS and MADAS gas train components for rapid replacement when needed.
