    Industrial flame scanners are specialized sensors that detect and verify flame presence in combustion equipment, helping operators maintain safe, reliable burner operation. Unlike general fire and gas detection equipment, these scanners monitor specific burner flames and communicate flame status to combustion controls.

    Zeeco's ProFlame™ and ProFlame+™ flame scanners use ultraviolet (UV) detection technology and advanced background flame suppression to support single- and multi-burner applications. Designed for hazardous and non-hazardous environments, these scanners offer flexible configuration and flame discrimination for demanding industrial processes.

    As Zeeco's exclusive Canadian partner for ProFlame, MICA Technologies provides flame scanner solutions, product selection assistance and technical support across Canada.

    Reliable Flame Detection for Industrial Combustion Systems

    Zeeco ProFlame scanners combine flame detection technology with practical features that support combustion safety and operational reliability.

    Key benefits include:

    • Reliable flame detection: Monitor burner flame presence and provide flame-status signals to combustion controls
    • Background flame suppression: Help distinguish the target flame from neighbouring burners and background radiation
    • Reduced nuisance trips: Accurate flame discrimination helps minimize unnecessary shutdowns and relight sequences
    • Flexible configuration: Adjustable settings support different fuels and combustion conditions
    • Hazardous-area options: Models are available for Zone 1, Zone 2 and non-hazardous installations
    • Application-specific solutions: Industrial-grade, utility-grade and sulphur recovery unit (SRU) models support different operating requirements

    How Industrial Flame Scanners Work

    Industrial flame scanners detect radiation emitted by a burner flame. Zeeco's UV-based scanners monitor ultraviolet radiation produced during combustion and process the signal to determine whether the target flame is present.

    The scanner communicates flame status to the burner management system, which can initiate appropriate safety actions if flame loss is detected.

    In multi-burner installations, flame discrimination is particularly important. Background flames or other radiation sources can interfere with detection, making accurate target-flame recognition essential for reliable operation.

    Zeeco's technology supports flame monitoring in industrial burners, fired equipment, utility applications and specialized combustion processes.

    Choose the Right Industrial Flame Scanner

    Selecting a flame scanner depends on the combustion application, operating environment and required level of flame discrimination.

    Consider:

    • Hazardous-area classification: Zone 1, Zone 2 or non-hazardous
    • Application type: Industrial burners, utility systems or SRUs
    • Burner configuration: Single- or multi-burner installations
    • Tuning requirements: Standard adjustments or advanced flame-signal analysis
    • System integration: Compatibility with existing burner management and combustion controls

    MICA can help identify the appropriate Zeeco scanner for your equipment and operating conditions.

    Industrial Flame Scanner FAQs

    What is an industrial flame scanner?

     An industrial flame scanner is a sensor that detects and monitors burner flame presence in industrial combustion equipment and provides flame-status information to associated control systems. 

    How do industrial flame scanners work?

     Flame scanners detect radiation produced during combustion. UV scanners use ultraviolet radiation to identify flame presence and communicate the resulting signal to burner management controls. 

    What is the difference between a flame scanner and a flame detector?

     Industrial flame scanners monitor burner flames within combustion systems. General flame detectors are typically used to identify fires in broader fire and gas detection applications.

    Which flame scanner is suitable for hazardous environments?

     Zeeco offers Zone 1 models, including the ZPF-110 and ZPF-1100, and Zone 2 models, including the ZPF-120 and ZPF-1200. Selection depends on the installation's hazardous-area classification and technical requirements.

    What is the difference between ProFlame and ProFlame+?

     ProFlame Integrated scanners are designed for industrial applications with adjustable settings and troubleshooting capabilities. ProFlame+ utility-grade scanners offer additional tuning and flame analysis features for more complex combustion environments.
