Integrated Global Services Inc IGS

Integrated Global Services, Inc. (IGS) is an international turnkey provider of efficiency and reliability surface protection solutions.

Providing refineries with cutting-edge solutions to complex surface engineering issues

Boasting over three and a half decades of expertise, IGS has become a trusted partner to international plants, assisting them in addressing issues of metal wastage and reliability in mission-critical equipment.

IGS consists of operational hubs, subsidiaries, and sales offices globally to address the needs of global refining facilities. IGS is one of the top industry leaders in developing solutions to erosion and corrosion issues in difficult operational conditions.

IGS offers a variety of solutions that include:

IGS Tube Tech rover cleans the convection section of the furnace increasing its energy efficiency.

IGS HVTS stops corrosion in high temperature and high pressure process vessels, towers and columns.

IGS Hot-tek hot refractory repair solution eliminates hot spots on live fired heaters and furnaces.

High Velocity Thermal Spray (HVTS)

HVTS is a proprietary coating system designed to address corrosion and erosion problems in process vessels, towers, and columns. It is a time and cost-effective and reliable solution that extends equipment life.

Cetek Ceramic Coatings

Cetek Ceramic Coatings offers a versatile, durable, protective thin-film layer on the outer parts of tubes for the effective prevention of metal oxidation, corrosion, and carburisation and helps preserve the tube thermal conductivity coefficient close to new tube conditions.

Cetek ceramic coatings have been applied to more than 200 refining facilities globally, minimise fuel consumption, lower emissions, and boost production by enhancing fired heater radiant section efficiency.

Tube Tech Fouling Removal

Tube Tech is popular due to its ability to solve the greatest fouling challenges worldwide. Tube Tech utilises its own technologies, including robotic systems, to remove over 90% of fouling from fired heater convection sections, heat exchanger bundles, Texas Towers (VCFEs), and a variety of other mission-critical assets.

By restoring heat transfer efficiency of the convection section, Tube Tech used in conjunction with Cetek ceramic coatings, Tube Tech can restore convection section heat transfer efficiency and can greatly enhance fired heater capacity, as well as lower CO2 and fuel consumption by up to 15% and reduce NOx emissions by up to 30%.

Hot-Tek

Hot-tek offers essential maintenance during normal operation (between turnarounds) to avoid unplanned shutdowns. These services consist of:

• Hot convection cleaning
• Hot tube descaling
• Hot refractory repair
• Hot vacuum service
• Hot inspection service
