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.
