Residual Life Assessment, boiler revamping, capacity upgrades, and modernization of legacy thermal assets.

RLA, REVAMP & RETROFITTING

Maximizing Value from Existing Assets before Recommending Replacement.

For industrial plants operating aging boiler assets, ISOTEX offers a complete lifecycle extension service — from independent Residual Life Assessment (RLA) through engineering-led revamping, capacity upgrades, and technology retrofitting. 

Transition your fuel — keep your asset. ISOTEX engineers fuel conversions that protect existing capital investments while opening the path to net-zero.

Our Hybrid & Conversion Solutions

ISOTEX’s RLA service provides a rigorous, engineering-based assessment of the remaining safe operating life of aged boilers and pressure vessels. Conducted by our specialist engineers in accordance with IBR regulations and international standards, RLA reports give plant operators the data they need to make confident asset management decisions.

Coal-to-Biomass Conversion

Grate and combustion chamber modifications enabling existing coal boilers to fire biomass fuels — agro-residue, wood chips, pellets — with full steam output retention.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, magnetic particle inspection, and dye penetrant testing of welds and critical zones.

Metallurgical Analysis

Hardness testing, microstructure examination, and material property verification to identify material degradation.

Creep & Fatigue Assessment

Analysis of operational history, temperature cycles, pressure cycles, and cumulative damage to estimate remaining creep life.

Corrosion Mapping

Thickness mapping and corrosion rate analysis to identify accelerated degradation zones and predict future failure modes.

RLA Report & Recommendation

Formal engineering report with remaining life estimate, fitness-for-service assessment, and prioritized action plan.

Revamp & Retrofit Solutions

Capacity Enhancement

Engineering modifications to increase steam output beyond original design — new steam drum, additional heating surface, enhanced combustion.

Pressure Part Replacement

Selective replacement of degraded tubes, headers, and drums while retaining serviceable components — extending asset life at fraction of new-build cost.

Combustion System Upgrade

Modern FBC grate, burner, or air system retrofit to improve combustion efficiency, reduce emissions, and enable fuel flexibility.

Control System Modernization

Replacement of obsolete controls with modern PLC/DCS systems and SMARTWIZ IoT integration for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Safety System Upgrade

Installation of modern safety valves, pressure controls, level controls, and flame safeguard systems to current IBR and IEC standards.

Energy Recovery Retrofit

Addition of economizers, air preheaters, and condensate recovery systems to existing boilers to improve overall thermal efficiency.Safety System Upgrade

Installation of modern safety valves, pressure controls, level controls, and flame safeguard systems to current IBR and IEC standards.
