Unlock Hidden Capacity, Reduce Fuel Costs, and Improve Reliability

Fired heaters and furnaces are often operating below their true potential, limiting throughput, increasing fuel consumption, and driving emissions.

An IGS thermal efficiency audit identifies exactly where those losses are, and how to recover them.

What You Get

A data-driven evaluation of your fired heater or furnace that delivers:

• Identified bottlenecks vs. design performance

• Quantified opportunities for efficiency improvement

• Clear pathways to increase throughput or reduce fuel consumption

• Actionable recommendations tied to ROI

How It Works

IGS combines engineering expertise with advanced analysis to deliver fast, meaningful insights:

1. Design & Operating Review
   Evaluation of original design data vs. current operating conditions
2. Performance Assessment
   Analysis of real-time data, with optional IR imaging comparison
3. Advanced Modeling & Calculations
   Proprietary algorithms quantify efficiency gaps and improvement potential

What You’ll Receive

A comprehensive report outlining:

• Fuel savings and emissions reduction opportunities

• Potential capacity increases and throughput gains

• Identified operational constraints

• Recommended technologies to unlock performance

Optional: A commercial proposal with ROI, payback, and implementation scope.

Typical Results

IGS studies consistently uncover measurable gains, including:

• Increased throughput capacity

• Reduced fuel consumption

• Lower CO₂ and NOₓ emissions

• Improved operational reliability

Across units such as:
SMRs, ethylene furnaces, catalytic reformers, crude and vacuum units, DCUs, and more.

Flexible Benefits: Operate on Your Terms

The real advantage? Flexibility.

Plants can shift between:

• Maximizing production when margins are strong

• Reducing fuel usage and emissions when efficiency is the priority

Timeline

Studies are typically completed in 2-4 weeks, depending on data availability – fast enough to impact near-term planning.
