Great Southern Technologies ("GST")

Great Southern Technologies, LLC is dedicated to engineering services, consulting, and analysis in the areas of heat transfer, fluid flow, combustion, emissions, and black oil processing.  Great Southern Technologies is dedicated to working directly with refineries and petrochemical plants in the United States and Canada to identify and recommend solutions for heater performance problems.  Our services include field testing with portable analyzer equipment, computer modeling, and a full Analysis Report which documents all findings, recommended solutions, estimated cost and return on investment. 

Proprietary Computer Modeling - Great Southern Technologies’ proprietary computer modeling (in conjunction with CFD modeling) makes it possible to analyze flue gas flow patterns and to minimize the longitudinal factor for both new and existing heaters.

  • Great Southern Technologies analyzes both new and existing heaters using proprietary computer models.

  • Advanced tube side modeling for all two-phase black oil heaters (including crude, vacuum and delayed coker heaters).

  • Advanced fire side modeling to evaluate and eliminate high tube skin temperatures and short run lengths.

Phased Approach for Engineering Services and Fabrication - Great Southern Technologies will work with you in phases and provide as much or as little engineering support as needed.  A typical Phased Approach scope would be:

  • Phase 1 – Field testing, computer modeling and analysis report

  • Phase 2 – Detailed engineering/design package complete with GA and steel detail drawings, data sheets and BOM

  • Phase 3 – Fabrication of the detailed design package including project management, purchasing, expediting and inspection.  Or, Great Southern Technologies can provide project management and consulting for fabrication by others.

  • Phase 4 – Field erection assistance.

We are committed to tailoring our services to best meet our customer’s needs.

With the limited expertise available from EPC’s or traditional fired-heater companies, Great Southern Technologies can make sure your projects stay on track for completion and meet your specific engineering requirements and process goals.  We are your partner from the design concept stage through completion and will provide the engineering manpower you need even in this very active market with shrinking manpower resources.
