Many heaters can be revamped to suit new requirements of the plant unit they are part of, or for energy conservation objective. In most cases, the revamp may comprise the installation of an airpreheater system or addition of tube bundles in the convection section. At other times, the revamp may be more complex, involving changes in the heater itself.
