New Fired Heaters

When a user is considering a new heater, either to debottleneck a process or to add new capacity, or to replace an existing heater, proper design is essential. A good heater designer will consider the reliability, efficiency, runtime, and emissions targets for the heater in their design. Great Southern has some of the best process designers in the business.

API vs Non API Design

Whether you require an API 560 fully-compliant design, one that follows industry standards, or somewhere in between. Great Southern can work with customer provided specifications, or provide optimization recommendations, to ultimately design the best heater for your application. API 560 addresses many aspects of a heater, for the latest information, please contact us today.

Things to consider when building a new heater:

• Number of fluid passes
• The tube coil size and material
• Fluid information (Type, Composition, pressure and temperature)
• Heat Flux Loading, heat split between radiant and convection section
• Burner Data
• Draft requirement
• Instrument data needed
• Exterior data (Ladders and platforms, locations for slight doors)
