Retrofits
Aftermarket Services: Retrofits, Upgrades, and Modifications
Sigma Thermal offers a variety of aftermarket services for process heating systems, including retrofits, upgrades, and modifications for system optimization. Whether your process heating system is manufactured by Sigma Thermal or another heater manufacturer, our retrofits/upgrade services can provide the support needed for optimal performance throughout the life cycle of your system.
Industrial process heating systems are our expertise and our goal is to create a partnership with you to help you determine the most beneficial upgrades or retrofits to enhance your system.
Potential Benefits
Investing in equipment retrofits or upgrades typically costs less than replacing the entire process heating system. Additionally, a fully optimized heating system results in increased efficiency, which can lower overall operating costs. Retrofitting existing plant equipment can be a challenge. To eliminate these frustrations, partner with Sigma Thermal to optimize your equipment or systems.
The benefits of retrofit or upgrade services:
- Extend the life of your equipment
- Increase equipment reliability
- Increase safety (plant & personnel)
- Meet standards and code compliance
- Increase asset value
Evaluating Your System
Our group of engineers help to make the decision process easy. They will collaborate with you to evaluate your needs, make recommendations, and then determine to implement the best solution(s) to specifically enhance your overall operation and extend the lifespan of your process heating system. Our experienced team can help you restore damaged systems, revitalize existing equipment, and upgrade to modern equipment to increase capacity.
At Sigma Thermal, we understand that retrofits or upgrades have to produce value that meets the goals of your operation. Therefore it’s important to determine the rate of return for your specific project. Sigma Thermal will help you assess profit or cost of the investment over a specified time, however if you want to get a general idea of what the rate of return will be for your potential retrofit or upgrade use the following:
