Fluidtecq Inlet Guide Vanes (IGV): Advanced Surge Protection and Power Savings for Centrifugal Compressors.   Fluidtecq manufactures robust Inlet Guide Vanes (IGV) with manual handwheel, electric operation or pneumatic actuation . 

These variable guide vane systems optimize inlet airflow in centrifugal compressors and gas turbines, delivering up to 9–15% energy savings at part-load compared to simple butterfly valves. Designed and manufactured in India to international standards (ISO 9001:2015), our IGVs suit retrofits and new installations in steel plants, refineries, petrochemicals, fertilisers, power generation, and compressed air systems — especially in high-potential regions like Kolkata, Haldia, Durgapur, and Eastern India . Key Benefits 

• Significant Energy Savings — Pre-swirl technology reduces power consumption by 8–15% during part-load or cooler ambient conditions.
• Superior Surge Protection — Maintains stable compressor operation across wide flow ranges.
• Easy Retrofit — Replaces existing inlet butterfly valves with minimal piping changes — typical installation in 2–3 days.
• Flexible Actuation Options — Choose manual (handwheel + gearbox) for cost-sensitive applications or pneumatic (cylinder + positioner) for automated DCS/PLC integration.
• Long Service Life — Heavy-duty SS/CS construction with precision linkages for harsh industrial environments.
• Quick Delivery & Local Support — Indian manufacturing ensures shorter lead times and on-site service in West Bengal & Eastern India.
