Integration of equipment and IT systems and has become essential for efficient operation of facilities of all sizes. Hurst developed and offers a full line of processor based smart controls fully compatible with all Hurst designs including alternative fuel models, including existing boiler upgrade and retrofit options for this new technology. Precise control of fuel and combustion air can result in very high efficiencies for boilers. Hurst intelligent control systems allow you to harness these savings while increasing overall boiler plant productivity.

FIREMASTER

FireMaster is an automated monitoring and control system designed for the optimal control and operation of a single boiler/burner package.

The FireMaster is a complete boiler control system, including the burner management system (BMS) and can be easily incorporated into a supervisory control system. The FireMaster features the best of traditional Hurst package boiler controls along with additional operational data and sophisticated control elements. FireMaster is designed for the monitoring and control of a single package boiler system.

FOCUS

The Focus is a complete boiler control system, including the burner management system (BMS) and can be easily incorporated into a supervisory control system. The PLC based control system provides local indication and full boiler system control via the large HMI touch screen.

These two components provide the processing and communications power that provide a recognizable and seamless boiler control solution. The PLC and associated components are of a modular and cost-conscious design that promote serviceability and reliability.

Focus is designed for the monitoring and control of a single package boiler system.

OXYMASTER

The OxyMaster is a complete deaerator control system developed to deliver an intuitive and proficient solution for the monitoring and control of boiler feedwater systems. The PLC based system provides automatic and manual control of all actuated valves and feedwater pumps via an HMI touch screen. An Oxymaster system is designed to be utilized with a single deaerator and can easily be incorporated into a supervisory control system.

BOILERMASTER

BoilerMaster brings up to four of your boilers and additional equipment to a single collection control point. Monitor and manage all your steam and hot water operations on-site from a user-friendly color touch screen, or remotely from off-site via secure internet by either computer or smartphone. Use the convenience of internet connectivity to access your BoilerMaster system from any browser-based device. Real-time data of efficiency and operating conditions are reported on a continual basis, and this information is archived daily into the system’s historical log and retrievable at any time. Utilizing the BoilerMaster’s customizable array of options to suit your personalized boiler system requirements, enables the full power of the processor’s ability to manage and optimize over all efficiencies.

BIOMASTER

The BioMaster is a complete monitoring and automated control system providing intuitive control of the boiler and solid fuel-feed and peripheral equipment operation. With variables like fuel-moisture percentages and varying BTU values, achieving a constant and clean burn with solid fuels can be cumbersome. Through the HMI, the operator is given a dashboard view of all the motors, devices and processes relative to the operation of the boiler. From the main operator’s view, all points of the system are visible and can be easily accessed and controlled.

BioMaster is designed for the monitoring and control of a single biomass boiler system.

• FireMaster is fuel flexible- Burn gas and/or oil, with automated fuel changeover to maintain constant header pressure. Implemented Lead-Lag allows each boiler in the system to work simultaneously to maintain constant load pressure.
• Average target output range accommodates 300-2,500 HP. Surge tanks in this system support between 500-1,000 gallons. Guaranteed efficiency of 80%, FireMaster can reach 85%+ efficiency with optional Economizer. On-screen fuel management system includes steam flow totalization and real-time calculated efficiency.
• Huge user-friendly Siemens 19" display- Simple to learn operator touchscreen interface, each interactive screen is designed for intuitive visual understanding with precise control.
