These six manufacturers' burners are found in many U.S. commercial and industrial boiler rooms. Here is where each company is based and what it makes.
Power Flame. Based in Parsons, Kansas, and in business since 1948. Power Flame makes gas, oil, and dual-fuel burners, including low-NOx models, for commercial, industrial, and process applications. Astec Industries acquired the company in 2016, and it still operates under the Power Flame name.
Webster. Webster Combustion is based in Winfield, Kansas, and is part of Selas Heat Technology. It makes forced-draft burners from small gas-only units to large high-turndown, low-NOx, multi-fuel burners, supplied with linkage controls or linkageless systems from Autoflame, Siemens, Fireye, and Honeywell.
Weishaupt. Founded in 1932 and headquartered in Schwendi, Germany. Weishaupt makes gas, oil, and dual-fuel burners and uses its own digital combustion managers on many models. Its U.S. subsidiary is Weishaupt America.
Riello. Founded in 1922 and headquartered in Legnago, Italy. Riello makes burners from small residential units to industrial and low-NOx models. Its North American plant, opened in 1980, is in Mississauga, Ontario.
Oilon. A Finnish manufacturer of burners and heating and cooling systems, including industrial and low-NOx burners for boilers and process heating.
Limpsfield. Limpsfield Combustion Engineering makes industrial burners in Biggin Hill, England. Its LC range burners can fire many fuels, including natural gas, light and heavy fuel oils, and biogas.
The right burner depends on the boiler, the fuel, emissions limits, and local service support. Each needs a correct startup and regular tuning to perform as designed.
