Standards co-authorship
Active API member · co-authoring API 561 (the upcoming SMR furnaces standard) and contributing to API 560 + API 936 refractory committees. We help write the rulebook.
Hydrogen Reformer Furnaces · API 561 Co-Author
Steam Methane Reformer Furnaces
Top-fired and side-fired SMR furnace EPC for hydrogen production. We design, engineer, fabricate, and commission reformer radiant sections to API 560 — and we are co-authoring API 561, the upcoming global standard for steam methane reformer furnaces.

Three Decades of Reformer Experience
A peer to the world's reformer licensors — not a sub-contractor.
Esteem has designed, fabricated, and commissioned SMR furnaces in both top-fired and side-fired configurations for hydrogen units across India and internationally. We work directly with refiners and chemicals owners — and alongside global licensors when the project requires it — bringing our own thermal engineering, WinHeat® simulation, CFD, and FEA capability to the work.
The HGU Reformer Esteem fabricated and supplied for the IRPC project at Rayong, Thailand (with Linde) and the HGU Reformers delivered to IOCL Bongaigaon and HPCL Mumbai are the proof that we execute reformer packages at the level major refiners and licensors expect.
Why Esteem on Reformers
Engineering authority, not just fabrication.
What makes a reformer perform isn't just steel — it's the thermal physics, the metallurgy, and the disciplined execution. We bring all three.
In-house thermal engineering
WinHeat® simulation, CFD, and FEA done in-house by our own engineers. We do not outsource thermal rating to third parties.
International execution proof
HGU Reformer supplied to IRPC Thailand with Linde. HGU Reformers for IOCL Bongaigaon and HPCL Mumbai. Modular fabrication and field commissioning under one accountable scope.

Applications
Where SMR furnaces deliver value
From greenfield hydrogen to integrated chemical complexes, reformer delivery depends on consistent thermal and mechanical discipline across the package boundary.
Hydrogen Production
High-integrity reformer furnaces aligned with hydrogen purity, duty, and reliability targets for modern and legacy schemes.
Ammonia Synthesis
Mechanical execution that respects syngas routes, licensor heat duties, and the demanding integration of ammonia plants.
Refinery Operations
Support for hydrogen networks, hydroprocessing, and refinery-wide synergies with predictable handover and commissioning.
