Fired Heaters
For over 50 years Unit Birwelco has been a powerful force in the fired heater market, with our design expertise delivering benefits to the petrochemical industry across the UK, Europe, North America, and the Middle and Far East.
Worldwide we have built over 750 refinery fired heaters, from ethylene crackers to catalytic reformers and waste heat trains.
Carefully developed in recent years, our high intensity heater technology for crude and vacuum heaters, is still the premier design choice today. It features a mixture of design innovations which deliver economies over the older design of the horizontal tube heater.

Revamps and retrofits can provide significant benefits in extending the operational life of furnace units. Our expertise reduces maintenance headaches, with reduced downtime equalling better productivity and profit.
