Why FIS

Engineering you can rely on.
A firm you can work with.

Since 1996, FIS has focused exclusively on fired heaters, revamps, new designs, SMR engineering, and training. All engineering is performed in-house: process, mechanical, structural, CFD, and 3D modelling. No subcontracting the work that matters.

  • Field-tested expertise combined with proprietary heater models, CFD, and simulation software.

  • Dedicated entirely to fired heaters. That depth means we anticipate failure modes before they happen, particularly on new heater designs.

  • Four patents. Each one developed to solve a real problem, field-tested, and implemented in operating refineries.

  • Built on results. Demonstrated through an extensive reference list, repeat clients, and 30 years of industry relationships.

How we work?

Working with FIS doesn't require a fully scoped RFQ. Most projects begin with a conversation, you describe the challenge; we tell you honestly what engineering looks like and whether it's the right fit. Here's what to expect. 

  • Tell us your challenge or project. No formal brief needed, we ask the right questions and give you an honest view of the engineering options.

  • We review your existing data , operating history, data sheets, inspection records, and define the engineering scope accurately.

  • A detailed proposal: scope, deliverables, timeline, and cost, specific to your project. Not a template. If a study is the right first step, we say so.

  • All disciplines in-house: process, mechanical, structural, CFD, and 3D modelling. One team, one point of contact, one integrated set of drawings.

  • We stay engaged through procurement, fabrication review, and commissioning. US and India offices ensure support across time zones.
