Gulf Energy Excellence Awards 2024 Finalists Announced

It has been announced that Integrated Global Services (IGS) has been selected as a finalist for the prestigious Gulf Energy Excellence Awards, in the Best Controls, Instrumentation, Automation Technology category. Our Convection Section Cleaning Rover has earned recognition for its ground-breaking approach to enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the energy sector.

The awards ceremony, set to take place on October 9, 2024, at The Post Oak Hotel in Houston, Texas, celebrate the most innovative and impactful technologies in the energy industry. IGS is a finalist alongside other industry leaders in this highly competitive category, showcasing our commitment to driving technological advancements in the downstream sector.

The rover technology represents a significant leap forward in fired heater maintenance. This system can removes 90-95% of fouling deposits from convection sections, dramatically improving heat transfer efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. The technology enhances operational efficiency and contributes to substantial reductions in CO₂ and NO_x emissions, aligning with the industry’s emissions targets.

Al Geraskin, Head of Product Management and Innovation at IGS, commented on this achievement:

“Being recognized as a finalist for the Gulf Energy Excellence Awards is a testament to our team’s dedication to innovation and our commitment to solving critical industry challenges. Our Convection Section Cleaning Rover is not just a cleaning tool; it’s a comprehensive solution that enhances safety, improves efficiency, and contributes to our clients’ environmental goals. This nomination validates our approach to developing technologies that deliver tangible value to the energy sector.”

The technology stands out for its ability to access 90-95% of the surface area in complex convection sections, a significant improvement over traditional cleaning methods. Its automated operation enhances safety by reducing the need for manual entry into confined spaces, while its high-definition camera provides valuable data for asset monitoring and maintenance planning.

We look forward to the awards ceremony and the opportunity to showcase how our technology is shaping the future of energy efficiency and sustainability.

Stay tuned for updates as we approach the Gulf Energy Excellence Awards ceremony in October. We extend our gratitude to our dedicated team, our partners, and our clients who have supported us on this journey of innovation.
