Furnace Improvements is a full service engineering and consulting company dedicated to improving the performance of existing fired heaters and building better furnaces.

Fired Heaters are one of the most important pieces of equipment in the refining and petrochemical industries. They are critical to operations and can lead to a number of problems if not designed correctly.

Our Mission:

“I’m glad to report that our #4 Platformer Heater is doing very well. It runs well and it looks great. It’s right outside my window as you know so every day I’m reminded of you and the fine job you did for us. There’s no doubt that the idea has many benefits”

Ed De la Cruz, CITGO

“The performance of the VF4 H28 heater since startup has been fantastic! The stack temperature is 370-380 F and the fuel gas usage has dropped about 40% from the old heater. This is one of the most efficient heaters in the refinery. The NOx stack testing came back 0.026 lb NOx/MMBTU, which is also outstanding. They are even trying to reduce the O2 even lower, from 4% to 3%. It's a lot different when you have a tight firebox. Great job!!!”

"First of all I would like to congratulate you on the job you did at Alon for the ULSD Heater. Jeff Brorman could not stop complimenting the performance of the heater two weeks ago when Cameron and I were in Big Spring."
