If you are like most users, every year brings increased demands on existing plant equipment, whether because of changes in the process, increased demand, changing regulations, or simply the aging of the equipment, current conditions require you to examine this equipment with an eye toward a possible revamp, either now, or down the road. This could be in the form of a simple burner kit to something as complicated as adding additional heat exchanger surface, or replacing a worn out or undersized air preheater. Whether a small fired heater, a critical steam boiler, or a steam methane reformer with six or seven hundred burners, it is important to be provided with the correct information and data to allow you to make the right decisions concerning the revamp modifications. Increase Performance, Inc. with our expertise in all things concerning combustion and mechanical design for furnace revamps is someone you should consider for a preliminary study, new burner kits or burners, fabrication of new equipment, or installation at the plant. In business for over 20 years with projects spanning the world, we are prepared to assist you with your requirements, no matter how small or how large. Following are examples of some of our projects.

If you are  like most users, every year brings  increased demands on existing plant equipment, whether 

because of changes  in the process,  increased demand, changing regulations, or simply the aging of the 

equipment,  current  conditions  require you  to examine  this equipment with an eye  toward a possible 

revamp, either now, or down the road. 

This could be  in the form of a simple burner kit to something as complicated as adding additional heat 

exchanger surface, or replacing a worn out or undersized air preheater.   Whether a small fired heater, a 

critical steam boiler, or a steam methane reformer with six or seven hundred burners, it is important to 

be provided with the correct information and data to allow you to make the right decisions concerning 

the revamp modifications. 

Increase Performance, Inc. with our expertise in all things concerning combustion and mechanical design 

for furnace revamps is someone you should consider for a preliminary study, new burner kits or burners, 

fabrication of new equipment, or  installation at the plant.    In business  for over 20 years with projects 

spanning the world, we are prepared to assist you with your requirements, no matter how small or how 

large.   

Following are examples of some of our projects.

Burner and Preheated Air Distribution Duct Replacement:  

  

Heat Integration Project on Existing Steam Methane Reformer: 

Through the years, operational experience led to operating at a lower flue gas exit temperature and an 

O2 Mole percent  lower  than original design,  resulting  in  the heat  recovery equipment  absorbing  less 

heat than unit was designed for on an existing SMR.  

The  resulting mass  flow was  less  than original design and  the stack exit  temperature was higher  than 

original design.

Existing Steam Methane Reformer Expansion: 

 Replacement of a Ljungstrom Air Preheater: 

IPI designed a replacement air preheater system  to replace an existing Ljungstrom APH with a unique 

design  consisting of  a  combination of  a hot  zone plate  type  exchanger  and  a  cold  zone  glass  coated 

tubular exchanger to avoid the cold corner corrosion due to sulphur content of fuel, common with plate 

type exchangers.   All without moving any major equipment and which  can be accomplished within a 

short turnaround.
