Careers Fired Heaters
Unlocking Fired Heater Performance
Our range of solutions provides optimization for fired heaters, improving radiant efficiency, increasing capacity, and reducing fuel consumption. Cetek and Tube Tech technologies reduce CO2 and NOx, convection section fouling, and bridgewall temperatures.
Complete a Thermal Efficiency Study to determine your projected fuel savings, capacity increase and emissions reduction.
We specialise in:
- Catalytic Reformers
- Ethylene Furnaces
- Steam Methane Reformers
- Fired Heaters with Process Pre-heat
- Delayed Coker Heaters (DCU)
Our Fired Heater Solutions
Cetek Efficiency Coatings
High-Emissivity Ceramic Coatings for Process Tubes and Refractory
Cetek Ceramic Coatings provide a durable, protective, thin-film layer on the outer surfaces of process tubes, which prevents oxidation, corrosion, and carburization of the metal and maintains the tube thermal conductivity coefficient close to new tube conditions. Tube coating can be applied in conjunction with a refractory coating, increasing the benefit and encapsulating the refractory.
The Benefits
- Typical productivity benefits of 4% to 10%
- Fuel Savings
- Production Increases
- Decreased BWT
- Increased Tube Life / Reliability

Tube Tech
Engineered Convection Section Cleaning
Tube Tech’s fired heater convection section cleaning service is recognised by world-leading refining and petrochemical companies as the most effective technology to achieve OEM performance clean fired heaters.
Traditional cleaning methods are only able to clean 30-45% of the total fouled area. Tube Tech, backed by multi-million-dollar European funding, has developed a Rover system that penetrates deep between tube rows to remove even the most stubborn fouling.
90% clean guarantee even on the most fouled assets.
The Benefits
- Removes 95%+ of Fouling
- No Refractory Damage
- Safety – No Man Entry
- Reinstates Thermal Efficiency and Reduces CO2 Emissions
- Extends Asset Life due to Reduced Stack Temperature
