AISTech 2025 and FRC Global Recap: Uncovering the Hidden Truths of TKE-HTT™

At AISTech 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee, FRC Global came with a clear message for metals manufacturers: there’s more opportunity to cut energy bills at your facility than you might think. We had our patented TKE-HTT™ combustion system there to show what’s possible.

In an industry where incremental improvements often go unnoticed, we’re proud to be challenging the status quo. Behind the scenes of everyday operations, the TKE-HTT™ is quietly revolutionizing how steelmakers think about energy efficiency, heat transfer, and combustion performance.

And at our booth, we didn’t just talk theory—we showed the data, the case studies, and the real-world impact. From significantly reduced fuel consumption to improved temperature uniformity and faster heat-up times, the results from our real-world customer examples spoke for themselves.

That’s the hidden truth about TKE, and why some of our customers may not want to give up their names because of their competitive advantage with the system. That, to us, is the sign of a truly powerful, disruptive technology.

This year also marked a first for Alltherm, now a part of the FRC Global family. Known for its precision manufacturing and field services, Alltherm brings a new dimension to our capabilities and strengthens our ability to serve customers from design to delivery to on-site support. The buzz around their booth presence confirmed what we already knew: the industry is hungry for a more integrated, responsive partner.

We want to thank everyone who spent time with our team, asked deep technical questions, and helped spark meaningful conversations about what’s next for industrial heat technology.
