The first Wi-Fi BMS built in the Permian.
A full burner management system with a local Wi-Fi UI you reach from any phone, tablet, or laptop. Built for flares, enclosed combustors, and heater treaters. Designed and built by ROS.
ROS BMS is our proprietary burner management system — designed, built, and deployed by Reliable Oilfield Services. Unlike retrofit monitoring add-ons, ROS BMS is a complete BMS: it controls ignition, sequences pilot and main valves, proves flame (via thermocouple, ionization, or both), enforces high-temperature shutdowns, and locks out safely when things go wrong. Every unit ships with a rugged 10.1" Android touchscreen tablet sealed inside the enclosure door — your tech configures the BMS right at the panel, no laptop needed. You can also connect from your own phone, laptop, or tablet via the unit's local Wi-Fi at igniter.local. No portal account, no cell service, no internet required for any of it. It's what we install when a customer needs a BMS that's actually built for the patch.

What you're paying for.
No surprise line items. Here's exactly what's in scope.
- Complete burner management system (controls + NEMA 4X enclosure)
- Built-in 10.1" rugged Android touchscreen, IP68/IP69K-rated, sealed inside the enclosure door — protected from sun, dust, and weather
- Also accessible from any phone, laptop, or tablet via local Wi-Fi at igniter.local — no app install, no portal account
- Built-in telemetry outputs for SCADA / remote-monitoring integration: 4–20 mA analog (temperature), 1–5 V analog (alternate temperature), and a normally-closed dry-contact pair for on/off status — included at the standard price. On most other BMS controllers these are add-on options that run $250–$1,000 extra.
- Optional add-on radio module for pads where wiring back to a control building isn't practical — the controller has a 24 V DC power output sized to power the radio in a separate enclosure
- Runs fully offline — no cell service, no internet, no cloud dependency
- Ignition control: spark, HEI, or glow plug (per unit configuration)
- Flame proving via thermocouple, ionization (flame rod), or both
- Application profiles: flare, enclosed combustor, heater treater
- High-temperature shutdown and configurable interlock logic
- 12V or 24V DC operation
- Full user manual + commissioning support
What's protected.
- Board and control-electronics defects covered for 24 months from install.
- Installation-related issues covered when ROS performs the install.
- No callout fees for warranty work — if it's covered, getting it fixed doesn't cost you a trip charge.
- We answer warranty calls on the same phone number as the rest of the work: (432) 227-4106. No claims department, no portal, no ticket queue.
No fine print. No exclusions list. No claims department. No “send the board back for manufacturer inspection.” Two years means two years — if the board fails or the install causes an issue, we own it. Same phone number handles warranty calls and everything else.
What it costs.
Range depends on configured options — ignition type, flame proving method, application profile, and enclosure variants.
- Price covers the complete controller unit: controls, NEMA 4X enclosure, embedded 10.1" rugged touchscreen, and built-in telemetry outputs (4–20 mA / 1–5 V analog + dry-contact status). The telemetry outputs are included at the standard price — most other BMS controllers sell these as paid add-ons for $250–$1,000 extra.
- Field wiring (cable kit / harness) is NOT included — runs are sized per install based on distance, conduit, and existing equipment condition.
- Optional add-on radio module is quoted separately — call (432) 227-4106 if your site needs wireless integration.
- Installation and on-site commissioning are quoted separately — they depend on site access, wiring runs, and existing equipment condition.
- Bulk pricing available for fleet rollouts — call (432) 227-4106 to discuss volume terms.
- No monthly cellular monitoring fees. The local Wi-Fi UI is part of the unit, not a subscription.
Honest pricing is rare in this industry — we publish ranges so you can budget without playing “call for quote” phone tag. Final pricing confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Our process.
Spec
Tell us the application (flare, combustor, heater treater), ignition type, and sensing preference. We confirm fit and quote.
Build
Unit is built and tested against the manual's commissioning checklist before it leaves our shop.
Install + commission
We mount, wire, and commission on-site. Walk through the Wi-Fi UI with your operator before we leave.
Document + support
Full as-built documentation, ROS BMS user manual, and a callable phone number for support calls.
Common questions.
How does the operator interact with the BMS in the field?
+
Two ways, both included. (1) The built-in 10.1" rugged Android touchscreen mounted inside the enclosure door — open the door, configure on the screen, close the door. (2) From your own phone, laptop, or tablet: join the unit's local Wi-Fi network and open igniter.local in any browser. Most techs use whichever is faster for the moment.
Why is the touchscreen inside the door?
+
To protect it. The tablet is IP68/IP69K-rated on its own, but sealing it inside the enclosure door adds another layer of protection from sun, blowing dust, ice, and rain. That dramatically extends screen life on a Permian pad — these things sit out in direct sun and freezing rain year-round.
Does it require cell signal or internet?
+
No. The entire interface lives on the unit — both the built-in tablet and the local Wi-Fi connection from your own device work with zero cell service and zero internet. No portal, no cloud, no monthly cellular subscription. Same behavior in a dead-zone pad as in town with full bars.
What equipment can it run?
+
Flares (waste gas flare stacks), enclosed combustors, oil heater treaters, and line heaters. Each has a configuration profile in the UI for typical sequencing.
What flame proving does it support?
+
Thermocouple, ionization (flame rod / electrode), or both — selectable per application during configuration.
Where can I see the manual?
+
Right here on the site — the full user manual is at /bms-manual with quick start, wiring guidance, configuration, alarms, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Can ROS install and service other BMS platforms too?
+
Yes. We install ROS BMS where it's the right fit, and we service all major BMS brands — modern and legacy — where they're already in place.
