THE APPLICATION

Reliable ignition for flare pilots and burners

An HEI system delivers an ignition spark at a defined point in a burner or pilot arrangement. The igniter, lead, power unit and control interface have to work with the burner geometry and the sequence expected by the overall system.

PS Technology builds HEI systems in-house at our Defu Lane workshop, sourcing the components ourselves and assembling the exciter, leads and igniters to suit the pilot or burner arrangement. Before building, we confirm the ignition point, control signals, power supply and site conditions.

We also build complete burner skids to order, fitted with our own pilot igniters and HEI ignition.

Is HEI the same as a full burner control system?

No. HEI refers to the ignition equipment. The wider system may also include fuel controls, flame detection and safety logic, with scope defined separately for the project.

Coordinate the pilot interface

  1. Burner arrangement

    Share drawings of the pilot, ignition point and mounting constraints.

  2. Electrical interface

    Identify supply voltage, cable route and the control system signals.

  3. Site conditions

    Confirm location and temperature exposure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a high energy ignition (HEI) system used for?

Lighting flare pilots and burners reliably. The exciter produces a high-energy spark at the igniter tip to ignite the pilot or burner fuel.

Do you build HEI systems or resell them?

We build them in-house at our workshop in Defu Lane, Singapore, sourcing and assembling the components to suit each application.

Do you supply portable HEI units?

Yes. We supply both fixed installations and portable units.

Can you supply spares and service existing ignition systems?

Yes. We supply spare igniters, leads and exciter parts, and service existing ignition systems.

Can you repair damaged ignition cables?

Yes. We repair ignition cables (high-tension leads) at our Singapore workshop, often a faster option than waiting for a replacement.

Do you build burner skids?

Yes. We build complete burner skids to order at our Singapore workshop, fitted with our own pilot igniters and HEI ignition.
