Our Direct Fired Process Heaters

Designed for careful control

At TIW Western, we design and manufacture high-performing, reliable Direct Fired Process Heaters for key industries across Western Canada, including oil & gas, petrochemical, and refining.

Our systems are fully compliant with API 560 standards, which is the global standard for fired heaters in refineries, but if you require more flexibility for your system, our in-house engineering team can custom design non-API Heaters, still in accordance with other critical industry and safety regulations.

Our Capabilities

the preferred solution in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage & Cyclic Steam Service operations

We specialize in engineered-to-order API 560 and Non-API Process Heaters for the petrochemical and power generation industries. With decades of experience in thermal fluid system design, we offer turnkey solutions, including system integration, custom controls, and start-up support.

Specifically, we can offer:

  • API 560 compliant & non-API heaters
  • Application specific designs
  • Convection and radiant-style heaters
  • Configurable designs (Cabin, Cylindrical Vertical, Cylindrical Horizontal, Helical, etc.)
  • Custom-engineered designs to meet unique process requirements
  • Fuel flexibility: gas, dual-fuel configurations
  • Low & ultra low NOx burners
  • Advanced burner management systems and Instrumentation
  • Turnkey design, fabrication, and support services

Whether you're upgrading an existing unit or a new facility, you can trust us to deliver high-efficiency Process Heaters and industrial heat transfer systems that will hold up under severe conditions.

Why Choose Us

Ensureing safety, efficiency, & compatibility

We design process heaters with detailed attention to exchanger materials, burner types, control systems, and heat distribution. Each unit is tailored to ensure safety, efficiency, and system compatibility.
