Detail Engineering & Design Activity for Fired Heater

Our client sought a detailed engineering partner to develop a fired heater module for Alaska’s seawater treatment plant (STP). The heaters were essential for maintaining the temperature of ethylene glycol. They were to be fabricated and mounted on a barge for transport through the Atlantic Ocean before integration into an onshore waste heat recovery plant.

Rishabh Engineering was selected to provide comprehensive fired heater design and engineering services. Our team utilized CADWorx and Tekla to create a detailed 3D model of the heater, allowing for effective visualization and early identification of potential design issues. The piping team performed comprehensive piping analysis using CAESAR II, while structural analysis was completed with STAAD.Pro Connect Edition. Based on these analyses, we provided recommendations for design improvements.

Our team collaborated closely with the client throughout the direct-fired heater design project to ensure alignment with specifications and timelines. Key deliverables included the 3D model, General Arrangement (GA) drawings, piping, and structural analysis reports, lifting and transportation drawings, as well as detailed bills of materials for both structural and coil components.
