Efficiency and Reliability Audio Case Studies

A petrochemical plant battled over 10 hotspots on a roof-fired reformer, exposed flames, and the threat of a $12 million loss—see how they avoided a full shutdown.

In this audio case study, we discuss how a Texas power plant with two CFB boilers overcame severe tube metal erosion and unpredictable wear rates by adopting IGS’ SMARTGard® High Velocity Thermal Spray solution.

Explore the 18-year impact of IGS Cetek dual emissivity coatings on coker heater tubes at a leading German refinery. Learn how these coatings optimize efficiency, extend run lengths, and enhance reliability, with insights on their application and ongoing benefits.

In this episode, Chris Landers of IGS discusses how the AirCannon Multiplier System improves material flow and enhances plant efficiency. Discover the key benefits and real-world applications of this innovative technology.

HVTS cladding helped a biomass power plant improve boiler efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and extend equipment lifespan

Discover how Fireside ceramic coatings improve boiler protection by enhancing thermal spray performance, reducing porosity, sealing microcracks, and boosting wear resistance in high-temperature environments.

In this podcast, we explore how Cementos Panam improved production efficiency by overcoming raw material humidity issues with IGS air cannons and multipliers.

Learn the latest materials and techniques that combat internal pipeline corrosion, including IGS's Metalspray Pipe ID cladding, which enhances durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness across oil and gas infrastructure.
