IGS Named Finalist in Gulf Energy Excellence Awards 2024 for Robotic Heater Cleaning Technology

Integrated Global Services (IGS), a leader in industrial surface protection solutions, has been announced as a finalist for the prestigious Gulf Energy Excellence Awards 2024 in the Best Controls, Instrumentation, Automation Technology category. The company's recently launched Tube Tech Convection Section Cleaning Rover has earned recognition for its innovative approach to enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the energy sector.

The Gulf Energy Excellence Awards, celebrating the most innovative and impactful technologies in the energy industry, will take place on October 9, 2024, at The Post Oak Hotel in Houston, Texas. IGS's selection as a finalist alongside other industry leaders underscores the company's commitment to driving technological advancements in the downstream sector.

IGS's Convection Section Cleaning Rover represents a significant leap forward in fired heater maintenance. The system can remove 90-95% of fouling deposits from convection sections, dramatically improving heat transfer efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. This technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to substantial reductions in CO2 and NOx emissions, aligning with the industry's emissions targets.

Al Geraskin, Head of Product Management and Innovation at IGS, commented on this achievement:

"Being recognized as a finalist for the Gulf Energy Excellence Awards is a testament to our team's dedication to innovation and our commitment to solving critical industry challenges. Our Convection Section Cleaning Rover is not just a cleaning tool; it's a comprehensive solution that enhances safety, improves efficiency, and contributes to our clients' environmental goals. This nomination validates our approach to developing technologies that deliver tangible value to the energy sector."

The technology stands out for its ability to access 90-95% of the surface area in complex convection sections, a significant improvement over traditional cleaning methods. Its automated operation enhances safety by reducing the need for manual entry into confined spaces, while its high-definition camera provides valuable data for asset monitoring and maintenance planning.

Fluidwell introduces the C581 Single stream Flow & Energy Computer for water and saturated / superheated steam

The C581 is the first model in an exciting new lineup of powerful and versatile Flow & Energy Computers. It combines our extensive expertise in instrumentation, a deep understanding of international requirements, and a commitment to user-friendly design. The result? The most robust, accurate and versatile field mount Flow & Energy Computer available today. The C581 sets a new standard for performance and reliability, leading the way in a promising range of Flow & Energy Computers!

Accurate

The C581 single stream flow and energy computer is a powerhouse for precision measurement. It accurately measures flow, temperature, and pressure of water or steam, and uses IAPWS density and enthalpy determinations to precisely calculate energy, mass, and volumetric flow. Thanks to 11 linearization points for all input signals, you'll experience enhanced accuracy across all flow ranges.

Flow measurement
The C581 can handle all ISO5167 flow elements and more; either with signals form a single dP sensor up to 3 stacked or averaged dP sensors.  As such range and accuracy at the lower end of the flow spectrum is significantly improved. For other applications the flow calculation can be based at the design conditions of the flow element.  Pulse inputs are soon available for the measurement of rotating flow meters. The C581 is able to determine the energy transfer in heat exchangers.

Robust and weatherproof
Built to endure the toughest environments, our robust IP66/67, Type 4X aluminum field enclosure withstands extreme weather and harsh industrial conditions. It’s engineered to perform flawlessly in temperatures ranging from a -40°C/-40°F to +70°C/+158°F. With this rugged enclosure, the C581 stays protected, no matter what nature or the job throws at it!

Ensuring the Health of Your Equipment

Disruption to manufacturing and production lines damages more than just delivery times. The impact of unexpected failure can damage a businesses reputation as well the risk of spiralling costs to repair, especially if replacement parts are not readily available.

Being informed about the condition of equipment along a production line, along with componentry in an electrical cabinet can make the difference between avoiding downtime, and panicking when something goes wrong.

Thermal cameras can be used to inspect critical componentry to see their safe and reliable operating temperature, which can then be recorded and referenced against in the future to alert the maintenance manager when the operating conditions vary outside of reliable operating parameters.

Whether inspecting each component once a month to build a thermal trend, or viewing similar equipment through a thermal camera to compare operating temperatures, insights can be gained into the condition of components and critical assets.

Often equipment failure can be caused by simple issues, such as a loose electrical connection that simply needs re-crimping or tightening, or blocked air-ducts reducing cooling on electric motors or similar equipment. Identifying where temperatures are increasing allows maintenance managers to take action, often simple action, before these small issues develop into larger faults which are more expensive to repair.

This is a simple process and a core pillar of condition based monitoring which can make the difference between identifying a fault and intervening before a production line becomes disrupted; or being surprised when something stops a production process and needing to fault-find before undertaking repairs.

FLIR have a wide range of thermal cameras to suit every budget, along with a selection of analysis, trending and reporting tools to support maintenance managers as their predictive maintenance processes. Read more by visting the link https://bit.ly/3AOQafB
