Cetek Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic coatings for fired heaters: Integrated Global Services (IGS) apply Cetek coatings across the globe. Numerous fired heater applications have been completed over 20 years. Process engineers typically see a 4-10% increase in fired heater efficiency, leading to millions in fuel savings and increased profits. Reduced harmful emissions help asset owners and operators meet current and emerging environmental legislations.
Tube Scale - Barrier to Heat Transfer
Increased fuel/energy consumption is necessary to overcome the insulating effects of the scale, leading to high bridgewall temperatures. Cetek coatings improve heat transfer efficiency for ~ 2 turnarounds.
Refractory Lining - Low Emissivity
Uncoated refractory linings reflect ~55% of the radiant energy, preventing it from reaching the process tubes. Cetek coatings increase refractory linings’ emissivity, so only 8% of the radiant energy is reflected and 92% is absorbed and re-radiated.
Planned Shutdown Assistance
Cetek’s experienced operations team work with facility’s turnaround/maintenance management to ensure the scope of work seamlessly fits into planned shutdowns.

Restoring production efficiency & NOx reduction by eliminating SCR fouling
Problem: SCR fouling is typically caused by refractory or insulation fibers that accumulate and block the face of the catalyst, eventually leading to substantial flow disruption and excessive pressure drops, typically worsening over time. This pressure drop and flow maldistribution will cause production ...

Eliminate convection section fouling by encapsulating refractory
Problem: Over time refractory ceramic fiber becomes friable. This friable dust is entrained in the post combustion flue gases and gets carried downstream, fouling convection section tubes and catalyst banks. Fig 1 shows new ceramic fiber under SEM. Fibers are continuous and intact. After heat exposure, ...

Eliminate fouling of radiant tubes
Problem: An increase in Bridgewall temperature can be a symptom of excessive fouling of the fired heater’s radiant tubes. These tubes tend to oxidize under operating conditions. Solution: Our patented Hot Tube Descaling service removes radiant section process tube fireside soot, scale, and fouling ...
