| Designing a Burner Management System to
comply with NFPA 85 & ANSI/ISA 84 |
This paper
will explore and contrast the system
implementation requirements for a Burner
Management System mandated by NFPA 85 – The
Boiler and Combustion System Hazards Code -
and those mandated by ANSI/ISA
84.00.01-2004.
Perceived
complexities have prevented most users from
trying to apply both standards
simultaneously to a BMS application. Even
though there are a few fundamental
differences between the two documents, most
of the requirements mandated by ANSI/ISA 84
are also invoked in NFPA 85. This paper will
explore the similarities and the differences
and describe the benefits of overlaying the
performance based requirements of S84 in
combination with the prescriptive
requirements contained in NFPA 85.
It will be
shown that combining the performance
mandates of ANSI/ISA 84 with the
prescriptive requirements of NFPA 85 will
reduce risk of ownership while maximizing
ROI for BMS installations.
In today’s competitive business environment,
how can a user not want to reap the benefits
of OSHA compliance, potentially lower
insurance costs, increased system
availability, a safer working environment,
and reduced liability?
