Manufacturing Capabilities

IST’s primary manufacturing facility is in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Our head office contains a modern, fully integrated facility that uses high grade sheet steels and tubing as raw material to produce complete, site-specific, ready to install Once Through Steam Generators. In addition, Propak Systems Ltd. is one of the largest builders in Canada, and internationally, of fully modular energy processing facilities and equipment. IST’s operations are supported by Propak’s extensive capabilities, which are described on the Propak web site.

Tube Finning Capabilities

The finning of the heat transfer tubes is a proprietary process that was developed by IST. This unique method, of brazing fins to the tubes, promotes effective heat transfer and reduces corrosion effects. The current capabilities of our finning process are as follows:

Outside Tube Diameter: 0.75″ to 1.50″

Tube Thickness: Our current minimum thickness is 0.049 ” MW

Tube Length: Up to 675″ long

Finished fin height: 0.250″ to 0.775″

Welded Finning of pipe is also available in 1” to 4” dia, sch 40 to 120
