Heater Performance Monitoring is a field service that determines what is happening inside the process heater during operation. This service identifies those mechanical and process conditions that limit the overall performance of fired equipment.   Quest Reliability uses infrared thermography technology and proprietary best practices developed through years of application to monitor the condition of heater components during operation.

From our program of routinely monitoring all key parameters, not just tube metal temperatures, the plant will know the condition of this valuable resource at all times. The results of the assessment can be used to prioritize repairs and identify capital improvements as well as potential improvements in current and future operation.

Features
