A service concept tailored to your needs, whose scope and emphasis is coordinated with you. You decide what is most relevant for your plant: costs, quality, and availability.

Project Management

Whether turnkey solutions, individual modules, conventional firing or feasibility studies, Kempston Controls provides the know-how and technology for all thermal processes. Decades of experience ensures smooth project implementation, even within limited timeframes. We are at the cutting edge of technology with a distinct knowledge advantage over our competition. From concept and basic engineering to assembly and commissioning, Kempston Controls is your partner in combustion technology.

System Optimisation

Combustion plant losses are a financial drain and a blight on the environment. In many cases, up to 10% of all fuels used are wasted. Therefore, modern industrial firing plants should aim for the greatest efficiently. Optimisation doesn’t have to result in more expense or long downtimes. Frequently, changes to burners, or controls, produce tangible increases in plant efficiency. Kempston Controls provides support with modernisation tools including weak-point analysis to the optimisation of the relevant components.

Spare Parts

It’s wise that essential consumable spare parts are stocked onsite to ensure minimal downtime in the event of stoppages. For all critical items of plant and machinery Kempston Controls can advise on spare parts and consumables that should be replaced on a planned maintenance cycle. Unable to store spare parts on site? Kempston Controls hold an unmatched level of stock for thermal applications with next day delivery on most items.
