The future of flame detection: From monitoring to supervision
In modern industrial plants, seamless and reliable flame monitoring is crucial for safety and efficiency. The DURAG GROUP has a cutting-edge answer to this requirement: The DURAG Flame Supervisor, our latest generation of compact and fail-safe flame monitors, offers maximum safety in accordance with SIL 3 and unmatched flexibility for all fuels and plant types. The innovative Flame Companion app sets new standards in terms of convenience and usability. This gives you full control over the optical monitoring of your combustion processes at all times – also via mobile devices.
Flexibility for all fuels and installation scenarios
Every plant is different. That's why the Flame Supervisor fits to your specific requirements – from fuel to installation location.
- UV cell for gaseous fuels: A highly sensitive UV cell ensures reliable detection of all gaseous fuels and makes the Flame Supervisor “H2-ready.” For maximum flexibility, the Select version combines UV and IR sensors for reliable detection of almost all fuels – from gas and oil to coal dust and waste products.
- Two versions for your needs: Choose the D-LX 1100 (Rotary Switch version) for simple, manual adjustment or the D-LX 2xxx (Select version) for the full range of functions with app control and Auto Learn.
- Solution for difficult installation locations: For tilting burners, high temperatures or limited space, the fiber optic version enables equally reliable monitoring.
Why the Flame Supervisor is the safest choice for your plant
When it comes to process safety, there can be no compromises. The Flame Supervisor has been developed to maximize the protection of your employees and your plant and to prevent costly downtime.
- Certified safety according to SIL 3: Rely on a flame monitor that meets the high SIL 3 requirements as standard and is therefore ideal for safety-critical applications.
- “Safe Landing” against sudden shutdowns: The intelligent 2-channel architecture is a decisive advantage. In the event of an internal fault on one channel, the process continues safely on the second, intact channel – for up to 22 hours and 50 minutes. This gives you the time you need for a controlled shutdown and prevents expensive, abrupt plant shutdowns.
- Seamless monitoring without interruption: Thanks to modern photodiodes, the Flame Supervisor continuously detects the flame signal without a mechanical shutter and the associated blind times.
Intuitive operation and smart networking: Full control, less effort
Complex and time-consuming configurations are a thing of the past. The DURAG Flame Supervisor is designed for maximum user-friendliness and quick commissioning.
- Auto Learn for perfect settings: With just two buttons or via the app, the device automatically learns the optimal settings for your individual combustion profile. This means that the flame monitor is ready for operation and perfectly adjusted in just a few minutes.
- Flame Companion app – everything under control: Simply connect via USB or Bluetooth and use the powerful app for Android and Windows. Benefit from guided configuration, easy transfer of settings to other devices, and detailed analysis.
Flame Companion App: Unleash the power of the Flame Supervisor – right from your pocket
Connecting the Flame Supervisor to the Flame Companion app allows convenient and user-friendly configuration and evaluation of the compact flame monitor via USB, Modbus, or Bluetooth. The software is optimized for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks, giving you maximum flexibility on any device.
- Designed for optimal performance: The Flame Companion app is designed to make the commissioning process and use of your Flame Supervisor intuitive and easy. Intuitive configuration with user guidance: Thanks to step-by-step instructions and helpful feedback, users can be sure that their configuration settings are correct and optimal at all times.
- Easy transfer of device settings: Settings can be copied from one Flame Supervisor to another, saving time and ensuring consistent configurations across all devices. Advanced Auto Learn function: The duration of the Auto Learn phase can be adapted to complex combustion conditions to ensure safe and reliable flame detection.
- Cybersecurity support: When configuring devices (certified according to IEC 62443), the app offers a structured setup process that meets cybersecurity requirements. Multiple user levels with password protection and multi-factor authentication ensure that only authorized personnel can use the device and access settings.
- Cross-platform availability: You can conveniently download the app for Android (via Google Play Store) and Windows (via Microsoft Store).
