Burner & Boiler Control

MK8 DTI

The Mk8 DTI (Data Transfer Interface) lets users know in real time how the boilers are performing, either on-site through its built-in touch screen, via a local PC, or remotely via a BMS system. It stores MM and EGA system data for a rolling 2-year period.

 The DTI is a gateway for communicating with the Autoflame MM Controller and/or EGA range of products. The DTI collects and stores information from a maximum of 10 Autoflame Systems in one location. The information gathered is instantly available for transmission to an external source such as a BMS via RS422 or Ethernet link. The Mk8 DTI also includes Autoflame DTI Manager software as standard, allowing data collection over a local network or over the internet. The Mk8 DTI also supports the Modbus protocol over Ethernet and RS422 as standard.

Main Features:
The DTI can collect information from up to 10 of each of the following Autoflame products: 

  • Mk8 MM Controller, Mini Mk8 MM Controller or any combination
  • Autoflame Mk8 Exhaust Gas Analyser (EGA) linked directly to the DTI
  • Pressure sensor network – connect and monitor Autoflame Mk8 digital Gas or Air pressure sensors, with two years of data logs
  • Input/Output modules with both analogue and digital connections

Network Emails generated in the case of a fault or alarm

Emission Monitoring & Trim

The Mk8 EGA EPA Conformance model meets all requirements set by US Environmental Protection Agency, who have certain requirements for monitoring boiler flue emissions.

The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are among the most prestigious awards in the World, recognising and celebrating business excellence.

The Autoflame Exhaust Gas Analyser (EGA) won the award for the Innovation category in 2022.

Mk8 EGA Evo

Overview: CEMS emissions auditing and trim control
For decades, boilerhouses, manufacturing plants and other industrial environments have used EGA’s (Exhaust Gas Analyser) to monitor flue emissions to comply with environmental regulations & to reduce fuel usage & emissions. The EGA EVO can operate as a standalone independent continuous monitor, or it can feed back its readings to an Autoflame MM Boiler Controller, allowing the MM to adjust the fuel/air ratio (trim) of the burner for optimised performance.

  • Simultaneous & continuous sampling of up to 6 exhaust gases (O2, CO2, CO, NO, NO2 & SO2) at a fraction of the price of alternative systems. Use with Autoflame MM Controller or Standalone Mode.
  • Enables 3 parameter trim control in MM Controller for improved fuel efficiency and emission reduction.

With built-in CEMS Auditing software, view reports by user-definable time periods (24 hours, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 years, etc.) based on:

  • Total weight & volumetric emissions
  • Weight/volumetric emissions per exhaust
  • Total cost of fuel
Mk8 EGA EPA Conformance

Meets all requirements set by US Environmental Protection Agency
Includes all the benefits of the Standard Mk8 EGA (CEMS Software, monitors up to 6 gases, touch screen) plus:

  • Additional back box enabling ability to self-calibrate sensors every 24 hours
  • 4 Connectors added to the bottom of the EGA., so that 4 different span gas bottles can be added for self-calibration purposes
  • Heated Sample Line to maintain Exhaust Gas temperature during sampling
  • Quick connect H.S.L. fitting on the top of the EGA

Overview
The US Environmental Protection Agency have certain requirements for monitoring boiler flue emissions. The Mk8 EGA EPA Conformance model has been specifically designed to conform to these requirements.

Combustion Technology is the Exclusive Supplier and Distributor of Autoflame in South Africa & Mauritius.
