Rapid Asset Integrity & Efficiency Mobilization Across the Middle East
In‑situ Corrosion Mitigation, Thermal Efficiency & Throughput Optimization
With many facilities across the Middle East entering planned or unplanned shutdowns due to ongoing regional disruptions, operators are using this period to accelerate critical maintenance and performance improvements to:
- Restore corrosion allowance
- Stop ongoing degradation
- Extend the life of aging assets
- Improve thermal efficiency and recover lost capacity
- Prepare units for reliable restart
At the same time, shifting production demands are placing additional pressure on assets. While some facilities, particularly in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, are undergoing shutdowns and restoration activities, others in the Western Province and across the Gulf are increasing throughput and firing rates to compensate.
IGS field teams are already in the region and can mobilize immediately to support both shutdown execution and high-efficiency, high-rate operations.

Energy Efficiency & Throughput Optimization Services
Cetek High-Emissivity Ceramic Coatings
Unlock additional capacity from existing fired heaters, without increasing risk.
- Increase production rates at the same firing duty
- Debottleneck heaters limited by BWT or firing constraints
- Enable higher firing rates without exceeding tube metal temperature limits
- Improve radiant heat absorption; more energy into the process, less wasted
- Extend run length by reducing fouling, oxidation, and performance loss
Typically achieves 5-15% improvement, translating directly into increased throughput or reduced firing requirements, depending on operational priorities.
