Products and services

• High Velocity Burners HAL's signature portable combustion equipment featuring high turn-down ratios (approaching 100:1), precise temperature control from below 80°C to excess 1250°C, interchangeable outlet nozzles for optimal gas distribution, and flame safety protection for gas/oil firing applications. Used by HAL's expert personnel in delivering on-site furnace services globally.
• Controlled Furnace Heat-Up & Expansion Control Glass furnace heating service using Gas, Oil and Dual Fuel High Velocity Burners with precise temperature control increasing heat from ambient to excess 1250°C with controlled increments of 1°C/hr, featuring Auto Crown Rise Electronic Measuring System for expansion monitoring.
• Rapid Cullet Filling Service for rapidly charging furnaces with cullet to re-establish working temperature, achieving melting rates of 50 tons/hr on float furnaces, using water cooled box pattern or hot air cullet blowers with vibrating screen filtration.
• High Speed Draining Glass furnace draining service using high pressure water pumps and specialized equipment achieving glass draining at rates exceeding 30 MT per hour, featuring water cooled sledge and water recycling system.
• Controlled Furnace Cool Down & Contraction Control Reversal of heat-up procedure for maintaining refractory integrity during repairs, with steady controlled cool down and adjustment of refractory retaining steel structure, switching off burners below 100°C.
• Rapid Furnace Cool Down Emergency cool down procedure using High Velocity Burners combined with water/steam injection, enabling most furnaces to cool within 48 hours for complete rebuilds.
• Full Turnkey Operations on Glass to Glass Projects Comprehensive project service including glass draining, furnace cool down, contraction control, demolition and rebuilding, steelwork, auxiliary equipment procurement, and heat-up/expansion/cullet filling for new and repaired furnaces.
• Refractory Dry-Out for Petrochemical & Other Chemicals Refractory dry-out and pre-heating for refineries including Flexicoking unit, FCCU, SRU, SARU, combustion chambers, fired heaters, reformers and hydrogen reformers.
• Refractory Dry-Out for Iron & Steel Comprehensive refractory services including blast furnace dry-out, stove pre-heating, hot blast main dry-out, slag runner dry-out, and hot blast stove heating (top/bottom firing) for silica materials.
• Refractory Dry-Out for Power Industry/Boilers Specialized services for CFBC boilers, waste heat boilers, RG boilers, ash coolers, combustion beds and ducts, with capability to supply heat for speeding up chemical cleaning processes.
• Refractory Dry-Out for Cement Industry Refractory dry-out and pre-heating services for rotary kilns, pre-heaters, kiln hoods, coolers, cement mills and raw mills with uniform temperature distribution.
• Refractory Dry-Out for Nonferrous Metal Industry Services for aluminium holding and melting furnaces, induction furnaces, tilting furnaces, calciners, kilns, alumina flash calciners, smelters, slag furnaces, zinc pot furnaces and copper melting anode furnaces.
• Coke Oven Heating Services Specialized heating services for new or repaired coke ovens with custom-designed burner outlet nozzles, achieving heat-up in 5-7 days, enabling heating after end wall or through wall repair.
• Post Weld Heat Treatment Services Heat treatment for tanks, LPG bullets, pressure vessels, spheres and welded fabrication structures using Direct Internal Firing or External Furnace methods with HAL High Velocity Burners.
• Local Stress Relieving (LSR)/Normalising/Annealing External firing method for localized stress relieving, normalizing for uniform fine-grained steel structure, and annealing heat treatment for increased ductility and reduced hardness.
• Hot Air Drying Service producing hot air for drying coated/painted large vessels and heat exchangers using High Velocity Burners, with dew point measurement at inlet and outlet.

Broad incumbents

• SECO/WARWICK: Global manufacturer of heat treatment and metallurgy furnaces with associated service operations across aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets. Comparable in heat treatment technology but competes as a larger OEM with broader service portfolio than HAL.
• Bodycote plc: World's largest commercial heat treatment services provider with 350+ facilities globally offering post-weld heat treatment, stress relieving, annealing, and metallurgical services. Overlaps with HAL's heat treatment segment but at much greater scale and broader geographic coverage across multiple end-markets.
• Inductotherm Group: Largest manufacturer of induction melting and heating equipment globally, serving foundry, steel, and heat treatment markets. Competes with HAL indirectly through its heat treatment service arm and OEM-captive furnace services for customers it supplies with equipment.
• Fives Group: French industrial engineering group providing furnaces, combustion systems, and service support for glass, steel, aluminum, and cement industries. Larger and broader player; competes with HAL through its service arm but also as an OEM whose customers may have captive service capabilities.

Direct peers

• Rath Group: Austrian manufacturer of refractory products and provider of refractory engineering and installation services for industrial furnaces. Direct competitor in refractory services segment with comparable focus on glass and steel industry customers.
• Pyrotek: Global provider of engineered materials and technical services for the glass, aluminum, and foundry industries, including furnace services and consumables. Comparable end-market exposure to HAL with overlapping service capabilities in glass furnace operations.
• HarbisonWalker International: Leading North American supplier of refractory products and installation services for steel, glass, cement, and petrochemical industries. Comparable to HAL in refractory service delivery and end-market focus, though stronger on refractory installation while HAL specializes in the dry-out/heat-up phase.
• Hotwork Ltd: UK-based specialist in furnace heat-up, refractory dry-out, and post-weld heat treatment services with global operations. Most direct competitor to HAL, and notably the company where founder Tony Kirkham previously served as Director before founding HAL; offers nearly identical service portfolio to glass, steel, and petrochemical customers.
