Cetek high emissivity coating for fired heater refractory

Is your fired heater limited by bridge wall temperature, or firing duty? Instead of a full scale revamp, we may address these issues may by the application of Cetek’s High Emissivity Ceramic Coatings to the refractory surfaces. Cetek High Emissivity Ceramic Coatings provide improved ...

Cleaning convection section tube banks remotely with no-man entry rover

Scott Donson of Tube Tech explains how a no-man entry rover achieves up to 95% cleaning of the surface area of convection sections, surpassing the effectiveness of chemical spraying or general washing methods.

Heat Exchangers - we can detect leaks to as low as 1ppm

Tracerco has been at the forefront of online leak detection for the last 50 years and can detect leaks to as low as 1ppm. If you have a leak, we can identify the specific exchanger where it's happening. We can identify which exchanger within a bank is leaking. The method is non-intrusive, ...

High Velocity Thermal Spray (HVTS) alloy cladding

IGS’s High Velocity Thermal Spray (HVTS) solutions upgrade existing metallurgy to higher alloys that provide a barrier to mitigate corrosion and / or erosion in mission critical equipment around the world. This alloy modification is essential to success of these material types when applied ...

Hot spot repair - online fired heater refractory repair

Hot Spot Repair in Live Heaters. Hot spots in the shell of the fired heater limit capacity and can cause a forced shutdown. Our experienced global team mobilizes at short notice to repair refractory online. What is Refractory Failure? The refractory may fail prematurely due to the ...

How a refinery improved their CCR catalytic reformer unit efficiency by 9%

A refinery in South Africa was experiencing high bridgewall temperature in their CCR unit because of process tube scaling. They needed a solution with a clear return on investment. Watch the video to see how this was accomplished.

IGS Cetek catalytic reformer heater process tube coating

Thermal Inefficiencies. In a high temperature environment, steel alloy process tubes will oxidize immediately and scale will develop. This oxidation scale layer acts as an insulator and will lead to a decrease in heat transfer as the scale increases in thickness. To compensate for the ...

ITW Online Cleaning

ITW’s Online Cleaning patented technology is based on cleaning heat exchangers and process equipment in a closed loop, in the hydrocarbon phase. According to ITW Online Cleaning technology, a production Unit can be cleaned in 24 hours or less, on an oil-out/oil-in basis without the need ...

Optimizing heat flux distribution to prevent heater tube coking with dual emissivity Cetek coatings

Cetek’s patented Dual Emissivity Ceramic Coating technology manipulates and optimizes the heat flux distribution in DCU heaters which would otherwise be susceptible to coking inside tubes. We designed the dual emissivity coating system to maximize benefits based on the coking pattern ...
