Fireye

Fireye manufactures flame monitoring and combustion control equipment for commercial and industrial burner systems, headquartered in Derry, New Hampshire. The company's equipment serves as the safety layer on gas and oil-fired burners, confirming flame presence and managing the combustion sequence so a burner doesn't run without verified ignition. Fireye's products range from single commercial boilers to heavy industrial combustion systems. Industrial sectors include oil and gas, power generation, and pulp and paper.

Product Lines

Fireye's core lineup includes burner controls and flame safeguard systems. It also includes combustion controls such as parallel positioning controllers. Flame monitoring hardware includes UV scanners, IR scanners, and flame rods. The SureFire II line covers spark igniters. The company also manufactures natural and forced-draught gas pilot burners. Recent additions include the BurnerLogiX Y controller, which adds valve proving and low gas pressure functionality. They also include the InTense flame sensor, built for environments with high pressure, temperature, and vibration.

Why Contractors Specify Fireye

Flame safeguard controls are a safety-critical component on any commercial or industrial burner. Fireye's accessory ecosystem of displays, servos, actuators, and switches lets a technician retrofit an aging control system without replacing the entire burner package. The product range covers straightforward single-burner commercial jobs through heavy industrial combustion systems. This lets a contractor standardize on one manufacturer's controls across a mixed portfolio of client equipment instead of stocking parts for multiple brands.

How to Choose Fireye Products

Matching the control type to the burner's sequence of operation is the starting point. A single-burner system typically runs on a standard burner control. Systems firing multiple burners in sequence call for a parallel positioning controller. Flame sensor selection depends on fuel type and environment. UV scanners, IR scanners, and flame rods are each suited to different flame characteristics and mounting conditions. For harsh installations with high heat, pressure, or vibration, the InTense flame sensor is built specifically for that environment rather than a standard scanner. Confirming igniter compatibility, including whether a job calls for the SureFire II spark igniter, avoids a mismatch between the controller and the ignition hardware.
