Heater Performance Monitoring is a service that determines what is happening inside the process heater during operation. This service will identify the mechanical and process conditions that limit the overall performance of your fired equipment. Quest Reliability, our sister company, performs infrared thermography to monitor the condition of heater components. Quest Reliability's highly trained staff will provide the reliability and operational expertise necessary to accomplish this assessment.
Through Quest Reliability's 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.
