AM Monday – Combustion System Reliability: A Preventive Maintenance Guide

September 22, 2025

Maintaining consistent burner performance is critical to the safe and efficient operation of your RTO system. Preventive maintenance not only stabilizes combustion but also reduces the risk of costly downtime.

Key Maintenance Actions

Burner Operation: Confirm that burners ignite promptly and maintain a steady, stable flame.

Fuel-Air Balance: Verify and adjust the fuel-to-air ratio to optimize combustion efficiency and minimize excess emissions.

Burner Cleaning: Remove soot, ash, and carbon buildup from nozzles and air inlets to sustain reliable flame quality.

Ignition System Check: Inspect ignition components, including spark devices and flame detection sensors, to confirm accurate performance.

Leak Prevention: Examine all fuel lines, air lines, and burner connections for leaks, corrosion, or mechanical wear.

Flame Sensor Testing: Regularly test flame sensors to ensure accurate flame detection and safe burner operation.

Recommended Schedule

Monthly: Burner inspection and cleaning.

Quarterly: Fuel-air ratio verification and adjustment.

Annually: Full ignition system performance test.

By following this structured preventive maintenance schedule, operators can ensure consistent ignition, maintain combustion efficiency, and prevent disruptions in RTO performance.
