Furnace manager technology fits seamlessly into the Catmasters portfolio. Preventing furnace tube rupture failure is a key feature in industrial furnace optimization.
Topsoe technology, acquired by Catmasters, monitors furnace tube temperatures, incorporates image acquisition and data acquisition units permanently installed on a firebox to monitor burner flame intensity, and tube skin temperatures on a continuous 24/7 basis. Immediate operational issues are revealed and long-term planning is facilitated.
During a presentation at a recent AFPM Q&A Meeting, it was shown that furnace data analysis is no longer constrained by the ability to collect firebox data. Human interaction with the firebox is reduced thanks to remote accessibility of Furnace Manager data. Continuous data display of images in the control room is captured and archived automatically.
