Boiler & Heater Group Thermax's B&H Group provides solutions in Biomass combustion, Waste Heat Recovery and Oil & Gas Fired Boilers to generate steam and power. Thermax also provides Renovation & Modernization solutions for old boilers and heaters. We supply equipment for various process applications in Petrochemicals, Refineries, Sugar, Power, Steel, Cement, Fertilizer, Paper, Textile etc. We have successfully executed over 1000 units for various applications. Our equipment are installed across the world for various projects in countries like Middle East, South East, CIS, Australia, Europe, Africa through various renowned EPC contractors.
At Thermax Ltd we are pioneers in the field of Fired Heaters & Process furnaces. These fired heaters have been built to exacting standards laid out by the user industry and in conformance to American Petroleum Institute codes like API 560 , API 530 etc. The units are built in compatible modules to suit the delivery requirements. The units can be fully shop assembled for quick installation at the job site or can be site built to over-come logistic issues relating to freight movement of heavy consignments. The basic & detailed design is carried out at our office in Pune which is an ISO 9001/2000 accredited business unit having dedicated manufacturing facility which is ASME certified. These facilities are accredited to build equipments in conformance to ASME "S" , " U " , "H", "R" stamp requirements. The fired heaters have been built in compliance to specifications & standards laid out by leading Oil & Gas process licensing companies like Universal Oil Products (UOP), Exxon, Shell, Novacor, Du Pont , Halder Topsoe, Engineers India Limited (EIL) and Others. We have successfully executed projects through a number of leading Lump Sum Turnkey Contractors (LSTK) like Samsung, Hyundai, JGC, Technip, Technimont, Engineers India Ltd. etc.
