To ensure safety of personnel within their work environment,
while increasing efficiency and reliability of fuel-fired equipment.
We believe that our work each day helps saves lives
& prevents explosions at facilities around the world.
•   Supporting your safety efforts since 1984
•   Engineers with industry experience
•   National and international capabilities, experience & expertise
•   Creation & implementation of corporate-wide programs




•   Industry leaders - NFPA 85, NFPA 86, NFPA 56, ASME CSD-1,

    & NBIC committee members




•   Objective code-based recommendations & designs
                  •   WE DON’T REPRESENT MANUFACTURERS!
Over 200 key clients - most are global Fortune 500 companies
CEC has developed a comprehensive approach to combustion safety that we
call PPE – which stands for People, Policies, and Equipment.


                              PEOPLE who maintain, operate, or supervise those
                              working with combustion equipment or fuel systems
                              are trained through hands-on instruction, online
                              coursework and a combustion safety assessment
                              program.

                              POLICIES are constructed or changed to ensure that
                              the most up-to-date technical information and best
                              practices are used in the purchase, installation and
                              operation of combustion and fuel systems.

                              Finally EQUIPMENT is screened for its compliance
                              with current safety codes. Deficiencies are identified,
                              safety interlock testing is performed, and equipment
                              is upgraded and standardized.

        c) Urgency (i.e. Potential value vs. cost to implement)


Once graded, items can be ranked
& prioritized based on potential risk
reduction impact.
