Emisshield – Petrochemical
Radiant Efficiency in Process Heaters and Reformer Tubes
Emisshield coatings enhance radiant heat transfer inside process heaters and reformers, reducing fuel consumption and improving the uniformity of tube wall temperatures.
- Reformer and cracker tube walls
- Thermal oxidizers and combustion zones
- Process heater walls and radiant sections
Performance Gains:
- Lower energy input with the same thermal output
- More even heat distribution across tube surfaces
- Increased refractory and tube life
Precast – Petrochemical
Pre-Fired Shapes for Complex Thermal Environments
Our precast components withstand high heat, hydrogen exposure, and pressure cycling—ideal for burner blocks, riser linings, and transition zones.
- Burner tiles and cone blocks
- Roof and wall panels
- Access blocks and expansion modules
- Structural support components
Why Precast Works:
- Accelerates installation during turnarounds
- Improves consistency and dimensional control
- Resists cracking under rapid heat-up and chemical attack
Thermography – Petrochemical
Infrared Imaging to Detect Failures Before They Escalate
Thermal imaging reveals hot spots, insulation failures, and refractory degradation across reformers, oxidizers, and duct systems, thereby improving safety and reliability.
- Process heater shells and walls
- Reformer tubes and combustion zones
- Stack liners, ducting, and SRUs
Advantages:
- Prevents unplanned shutdowns and energy loss
- Verifies performance of recent relines
- Enhances plant safety through early detection
