Furnace camera for reliable and safe combustion
Reliable combustion starts with insight.
In modern biomass and waste incineration plants, combustion conditions are rarely stable. Variations in fuel quality, load changes, and aggressive combustion environments make it increasingly difficult to maintain efficiency, availability, and safe operation.
Sirius Energy helps plant operators improve control by providing continuous visual and thermal insight directly into the combustion chamber. By translating previously hidden combustion processes into operational insight, operators can make better decisions earlier - and reduce the need for manual inspections in high-risk areas.
Our furnace camera system is a permanently installed process instrument, designed for continuous operation under extreme temperatures, high dust loads, and corrosive flue gases. Combined with Sirius Energy's experience in commissioning, system integration, and operational support, it forms a solid foundation for safer, more efficient, and automated plant operation.
Product Features
Built for real conditions inside the furnace
A furnace camera is exposed to extreme heat, dust, and aggressive flue gases - conditions where temporary and inspection-based solutions often fall short. Such a system is designed for continuous, round-the-clock operation in environments with temperatures exceeding 1,200 °C, with dedicated cooling, clean air, and mechanical protection ensuring stable and reliable visual insight over time.
Translate combustion insights into better performance
When operators can see flame behavior, fuel distribution, slag formation, and ash buildup in real time, combustion control is improved. A furnace camera makes it possible to adjust the process earlier and more precisely during operation, which increases efficiency, reduces unburned fuel, and improves the plant's overall availability - even under fluctuating fuel conditions.
Support safer and more automated operation
Continuous insight into the combustion chamber reduces the need for manual inspections and provides early warning of abnormal conditions. When integrated into the plant's control environment, a furnace camera supports safer operation and is an important building block for more automated and remotely monitored operations.
About DURAG
DURAG is a globally recognized manufacturer of measuring and monitoring equipment for industrial combustion processes. Their solutions are developed with a focus on reliability, precision, and durability - and with a clear understanding of the conditions under which the equipment must function in practice.
With a strong foundation in combustion technology, DURAG combines advanced technology with robust construction to deliver stable and reliable solutions for demanding industrial environments.
Within furnace cameras, DURAG offers solutions developed for continuous operation under extreme conditions, providing operators with direct visual and thermal insights into the combustion process. This creates a better basis for understanding and controlling the process, even when conditions in the boiler are most challenging.
DURAG has decades of experience in the development and production of measuring and monitoring equipment for industrial combustion processes. Their documented expertise and focus on operational reliability make DURAG a strong partner for visual and thermal insights in demanding high-temperature environments.
Engineered for continuous operation and long-term reliability.
D-FS2 is designed for continuous operation at temperatures above 1,200 °C. Its robust mechanical construction, combined with cooling and purging air systems, ensures stable image quality and high operational reliability over time - even with fluctuating loads and varying fuel quality.
A robust solution for the most demanding furnace environments.
The D-FS2 is a heavy-duty furnace camera developed for permanent installation in plants where continuous visual insight is required under extreme conditions. The camera is used in boilers and combustion plants with very high temperatures, heavy dust loads, and aggressive flue gases - environments where ordinary inspection cameras are insufficient.
Clear operational insight where it matters most.
The camera provides continuous visual insight into flame behavior, fuel distribution, slag formation, and ash deposition. In combination with thermography and analysis tools, the system can be used to assess temperature conditions and identify abnormal heat development and process deviations early on.
The result: Greater control over combustion, improved reliability, and increased process stability - even under the most demanding operating conditions.
Why use a furnace camera?
A DURAG furnace camera enables operational personnel to:
- monitor combustion and flame behavior in real time
- detect slag formation, fouling, ash deposition, and hotspots early in the process
- optimize grate firing and fuel distribution
- increase combustion efficiency and plant availability
- reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance costs
- support automated combustion control based on image and temperature data
Unlike traditional inspection cameras, a DURAG furnace camera is a permanently installed process instrument, developed for stable and long-term operation in harsh industrial environments.
Typical Applications
DURAG furnace cameras are widely used in:
- biomass power plants
- waste incineration plants
- industrial boilers and incinerators
- cement and lime production
- refineries and petrochemical plants
The solution is well-suited for both new installations and retrofitting into existing systems.
