A burner that is not operating at its proper fuel air ratio can create an environment where considerable carbon monoxide becomes an explosion risk. Check and clean combustion air fans. Combustion air fans are the heart of any combustion system. You will need to make sure that if filters exist, they are not saturated and or clogged. Fan blades will need to be clear. Fan rotation will need to be checked. Fans will also need to be reviewed for vibration and balance. Have procedures in place for emergency response when an event may be imminent. Think through issues and abatement measures prior to events. What valves will be secured? What condition will equipment be left in? In some cases, sensitive components like expensive burner management systems can be popped out of a cabinet in less than 5 minutes and removed from the site.
