Integrated Global Services Inc.Abstract Repair and outage costs of a refinery Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) can be significant, involving the complexity of shell replacement or weld overlay and associated PWHT. High Velocity Thermal Spray (HVTS) cladding technology has a well-documented history of shell protection in sour conditions where low, or locally low, pH results in material wastage. These […]
NOx in Cement Plants Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are harmful air pollutants that can have significant negative impacts on human health and the environment. NOx is formed during high-temperature combustion processes, such as those used in cement kilns, and contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone, which is a major component of smog. Exposure to high […]
Types of Boilers in the Power Industry and Top Causes of Boiler Corrosion Why is Boiler Tube Coating Critical? Introduction to HVTS The Benefits of Boiler Tube Coating HVTS Boiler Tube Cladding Process and Application Conclusion Types of Boilers in the Power Industry and Top Causes of Boiler Corrosion There are several reasons why […]
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been ramping up efforts to enhance air quality nationwide, resulting in stricter emission regulations that pose challenges for Electric Generating Units (EGUs) and non-EGUs alike. With the recent implementation of the Good Neighbor Plan (GNP) aimed at reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from power plants and industrial facilities, the […]
HT/HP Process Vessel Corrosion: Frequently Asked Questions with Colin Bateman During our recent webinar (if you missed it live, you can still watch it here on demand), Colin Bateman and Shyam Barshikar reviewed a case study (read it here) where aggressive pitting corrosion was permanently stopped. Questions were raised about the process and limitations of […]
All process heaters operate at high temperatures and are constructed with process tubes inside a refractory-lined enclosure, which is heated by radiant heat from gas-firing or, less commonly, oil-firing. Refractory linings are insulating and minimize heat loss, making them essential to retaining the high-temperature environment. However, when subjected to high temperatures, refractory can deteriorate and […]
