Fuel Change Often Require Boiler Erosion and Corrosion Protection

Metal loss of the pressurized tubes inside the boiler is a big concern for boiler designers and operators. Changing fuel composition and other service parameters can lead to accelerated erosion and corrosion, which needs to be mitigated using proven and robust materials. The power generation industry has been faced with increasing pressures from environmental agencies […]

Understanding Oil & Gas CO2 and NOx Emissions, and the Science Behind Reducing Them

Oil refineries, petrochemical, and chemical facilities are widely considered some of the largest contributors to nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions which adversely affect the environment. Fired heaters emit an estimated 400 to 500 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year, with at least 73% of average refinery CO2 emissions coming from […]

Three Ways to Reduce Fired Heater Emissions

According to a recent Digital Refining article, fired heaters emit an estimated 400 to 500 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year, with at least 73% of average refinery CO2 emissions coming from combustion. Refineries and petrochemical plants are under increasing pressure to reduce emissions, while also looking for ways to reduce fuel consumption […]

IGS HVTS Announced as Asset Technology Finalist in 2022 Hydrocarbon Processing Awards

We are over the moon to announce that our High Velocity Thermal Spray (HVTS) technology has been named a finalist in the Best Asset Reliability/ Optimization Technology category at the 2022 Hydrocarbon Processing Awards. We are looking forward to attending the awards ceremony on 12 October 2022 in Houston, Texas. We have developed HVTS following […]

IGS Facilitating a Carbon Capture and Storage Project

We stop CCS corrosion of new and repurposed vessel internals. “CCS is a necessity, not an option,” concluded the committee on Climate Change in May 2019. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a collection of technologies that prevent carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from entering the atmosphere. Carbon Capture technology can be used on any large […]

How to Prevent Opportunity Crude Corrosion

Many oil and gas companies are looking into crude diversity to maintain a competitive advantage, as the environmental regulations are tightening and oil prices are rising. These crudes are hard-to-process, poor-quality, and generally include heavy sour grades, oil sands, and other impurities. Process equipment is designed to refine crude oil products with a defined composition, […]
