Careers Complimentary Fired Heater Thermal Efficiency Evaluation
Unlock Hidden Capacity, Reduce Fuel Costs, and Improve Reliability
Fired heaters and furnaces often operate below their true potential, limiting throughput, increasing fuel consumption, and contributing to higher emissions.
Whether you’re looking for an initial estimate of potential efficiency improvements or a comprehensive technical evaluation, IGS helps identify performance gaps and opportunities to optimize your fired heater.
What You Get
A comprehensive technical evaluation of your fired heater or furnace.
IGS reviews both the radiant and convection sections to assess current operating conditions, identify performance limitations, and uncover opportunities to improve thermal efficiency.
The evaluation includes:
- Assessment of current performance against original design conditions
-
Quantified opportunities for efficiency improvement
-
Clear pathways to increase throughput or reduce fuel consumption
-
Actionable recommendations tied to ROI
IGS combines engineering expertise with advanced analysis to evaluate heater performance and identify practical improvements.
What You’ll Receive
A technical report outlining:
-
Fuel savings and emissions reduction opportunities
-
Potential capacity increases and throughput gains
-
Identified operational constraints
-
Recommended improvements and applicable technologies
Typical Results
