Services

Process combustion systems, from burner sizing to commissioning

BCE Combustion designs, manufactures, and services industrial combustion equipment for mines and process plants across Ontario, Québec, and Canada-wide. Our engineering team carries each job from burner sizing and combustion tuning through commissioning and final approval with the authority having jurisdiction (CSA/TSSA).

Mine Air Heaters

Direct-fired air heaters for underground mine ventilation heating, sized to your CFM and temperature rise and built for Northern Ontario and Québec winters. Every unit ships with pressure gauges at the burner, so operators can read the system at a glance. Send us your airflow and required temperature rise; we'll size the burner.

Fuel Conversions & On-Site Upgrades

Fuel conversion from propane to natural gas, energy audits, combustion tuning, and low-NOx burner retrofits. We carry the project from the quoting phase through commissioning and sign-off with the authority having jurisdiction.

Critical Spare Parts

Every project ships with a spare parts list, and we hold our own stock of critical spare parts. When a component fails mid-shift, you're calling people who know your system — and have the part on the shelf.

About BCE Combustion

Canadian-made combustion, engineered around your uptime

  • Respect
  • Innovation
  • Flexibility

BCE Combustion Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer of custom industrial heaters and process combustion systems based in Gatineau, Québec. Our team brings years of experience in industrial combustion to mining operations, cement plants, and industrial process customers, and we use customer feedback to constantly improve our products — from component selection to PLC controls to how the unit ships.

Three values steer the work: respect, innovation, and flexibility. In practice that means engineers and technicians on the same team, talking to the same customer — and custom solutions where a catalogue part won’t do.

Combustion itself hasn’t changed in a century; what we improve is everything around it — the control setup, the ergonomics, the instrumentation an operator actually uses. Pressure gauges at the burner mean problems get read before they become downtime. That thinking is why we build our mine air heaters the way we do: reliable heat for underground mine ventilation protects your workforce, and a heater that stays up cuts troubleshooting time and repair costs.
