Fired heaters with process pre-heat have the greatest running cost on your site. If any one of these heaters is 1 or 2% inefficient it can consume an additional $1m in fuel over a year or result in $millions in lost revenue.

Hot-tek™ – Online Maintenance & Emergency Services:
High-Emissivity Ceramic Coatings for Process Tubes and Refractory
Cetek Ceramic Coatings provide a durable, protective, thin-film layer on the outer surfaces of process tubes, which prevents oxidation, corrosion, and carburization of the metal and maintains the tube thermal conductivity coefficient close to new tube conditions. Tube coating can be applied in conjunction with a refractory coating, increasing the benefit and encapsulating the refractory.
Corrosion and carburization result in metal loss and reduced service life
Cetek’s High Emissivity Ceramic Coating system ensures maximum conductive heat transfer for the process.
Layers of fouling and scale prevent accurate determination of tube metal temperature, reducing the reliability of those measurements. Cetek applies a thin layer of ceramic coating which provides a consistent temperature differential between the outside surface and the metal tube. This results in a significant improvement in the reliability of tube metal temperature determination.
The Benefits
Available Applications:
Engineered Convection Section Cleaning
Tube Tech’s Fired Heaters with Process Pre-heat convection section cleaning service is recognised by world-leading refining and petrochemical companies as the most effective technology to achieve OEM performance clean fired heaters.
95% clean guarantee even on the most fouled assets
Tube Tech’s fired heater convection section cleaning service is recognised by world-leading refining and petrochemical companies as the most effective technology to achieve OEM performance clean fired heaters.
Traditional cleaning methods are only able to clean 30-45% of the total fouled area. Tube Tech, backed by multi-million-dollar European funding, has developed a Rover system that penetrates deep between tube rows to remove even the most stubborn fouling.
The Benefits
