The existing system, originally installed in 1995, had become increasingly unreliable due to obsolete components and limited integration with the plant’s control infrastructure. In response, Lakeside facilitated a stakeholder-driven approach involving operations, engineering, maintenance, and safety teams to define the project scope and performance goals.
The solution was delivered in two phases. Phase 1 involved the replacement and relocation of the fuel train and the upgrade of the first burner, including a new Burner Management System (BMS) based on DeltaV SIS technology. Phase 2 recommissioned the second burner to provide redundancy and enable off-gas combustion. The new BMS was designed to meet CSA/TSSA standards and integrated seamlessly with the existing DCS, transitioning from hardwired relays to a communication-based control system.
