Drop-in 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel is taking off

Virgin Atlantic has just launched their first commercial airline flight using 100% drop-in SAF enabled by technology from Virent and Johnson Matthey. SAF drives greener air travel by contributing 70% less CO2 to the atmosphere than conventional aviation fuels.

Enhanced SMR efficiency: fuel & emissions reduction delivers a sustainable decade-long benefit

Furnace Efficiency Specialist Larry Emch recalls an application where IGS reduced SMR fuel consumption by 2%, leading to lower CO2 and NOx emissions. This sustainable decade-long benefit was achieved with the application of a Cetek refractory encapsulation coating within the SMR's radiant ...

Furnace convection section robotic cleaning improves energy efficiency

Excessive fouling in the convection section of fired heaters and furnaces results in higher fuel consumption to achieve the required output. This causes high stack temperatures, reduced heat transfer, and increased emissions, which can lead to government fines and environmental damage. ...

How a refinery improved their CCR catalytic reformer unit efficiency by 9%

A refinery in South Africa was experiencing high bridgewall temperature in their CCR unit because of process tube scaling. They needed a solution with a clear return on investment. Watch the video to see how this was accomplished.

How IGS solutions increase refinery efficiency and reduce Co2 emissions

Edwin Blom, Executive Advisor of IGS, discusses the importance of reducing CO2 emissions for refineries and the various solutions that can help achieve this global initiative while maintaining high refinery efficiency.

How to increase fired heater heat transfer and energy efficiency

How many times have you been reminded that fired heaters have the greatest running cost of fixed equipment on your site? Most fired heaters experience a drop in thermal efficiency over time with degradation coming from both radiant and convective sections. For many units that can ...
