FPS^® Industrial Ignitors

Gas & Oil Ignitor Nozzles

B&W leads the market in the supply, service and support of reliable ignition equipment, with an international installed base of over 11,000 FPS^® ignitors (also known as igniter), in a wide variety of burner designs and fuel applications. Installations range in size from single burner package boilers to the largest boilers in the world. Our largest installation was a 1300 MW boiler with 112 ignitors.

From our main office and factory in Nova Scotia, Canada, we design, test and fabricate all our ignitors. This process has been in place from the first ignitor designed and produced and allows our product application/service engineers, ignitor design engineers and fabrication personnel to work closely together ensuring a quality product.

We recognize that our customers have unique ignition requirements due to inherent differences in their boilers, burners or fuel supply systems. Each boiler ignitor application is different and must be studied to ensure that the correct ignition product is supplied. Our dedicated team of product application engineers work directly with users of the ignition products to ensure that the correct ignitor is selected and customized for each application. All aspects of the application will be reviewed, including but not limited to: fuel type, fuel source, fuel supply piping, valves, fuel pressure control, desired firing rate, air delivery system, atomizing media, burner type and ignitor location within the burner.

All FPS products are backed by outstanding customer service and more than 150 years of quality, integrity and field experience. Through the careful integration of electrical and mechanical components, our developers have achieved optimal performance in fuel atomization, combustion, flame stability and flame monitoring.
