Engineering Services | New Fired Heater Design
Know the Limits Before You Build.
Design with the full picture. We model thermal performance, assess operating margins and challenge costly assumptions before fabrication.
The result: reliable, practical fired heater designs built for safe operation and long service life.
Our Design Philosophy
A reliable heater is more than a thermal calculation. Burners, coils, refractory, structure, draft and controls must work as one system. We evaluate the interactions from the outset.
Define the heat-transfer layout and operating envelope to meet duty, efficiency and process needs.
Check tube temperatures, heat flux, draft and flame clearances before the design is fixed.
Design for fabrication, installation, inspection and maintenance — not just the drawing.
Cut unnecessary complexity. Compare capital cost with long-term operating value.
What Sets Our Engineering Apart
We test design choices before they become costly commitments. Advanced simulation reveals thermal margins and operating limits.
Experienced engineers interpret the results, challenge over-design and balance reliability with cost. Every decision must serve the heater throughout its life.
Our Engineering Capabilities
Bring specialist fired heater expertise into your project. We support owners, EPCs and suppliers from concept and design review to detailed engineering. Scope follows the project, not a fixed package.
01 | Process & Thermal
02 | Equipment & Mechanical
Applicable codes, local regulatory requirements, responsible engineer approvals and detailed deliverables are established for each project scope and jurisdiction.
How We Work
Start with a sound specification. Verify the thermal design. Integrate the equipment.
Check margins before fabrication. We make the design basis and trade-offs clear at every stage.
01
Review the specification, operating cases, design conditions, performance targets and project constraints.
02
Develop the process and thermal arrangement, including radiant, convection, firing and draft system requirements.
03
Develop refractory, applicable API/ASME calculations, sketch layouts, structural components and detailed arrangements.
04
Review the design against its basis and deliver the agreed 3D models, general arrangements, detailed drawings and technical documentation.
A Specialist Engineering Partner
Owners gain confidence in investment decisions. EPC teams gain specialist design capacity. Heater suppliers gain deeper process, thermal and mechanical support.
We guarantee all process and thermal performance and design in strict accordance with project specifications. Our advanced tools support the work, and our experienced engineers remain accountable for the decisions.
