Refractory
KeepÂing inÂdustry movÂing.
The enormÂous temÂperÂatÂures reÂquired to proÂduce steel cause treÂmendÂous stress to the maÂterÂiÂals used in blast furÂnaces and coke batÂterÂies – and they run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. That’s where refractory materials come in. They reÂtain their strength at very high temperatures and ensure the safety and conÂtinuÂous operation of facilities. So it’s no surÂprise that 70% of reÂfractÂory materials are consumed by the steel industry.
Â鶹ÉçÇøapp speÂcialÂises in minÂimÂising disruption to steel plants, oil & gas facilities, cement factorÂies and power staÂtions by partially shutÂting down targeted areas of a faÂcilÂity while refractory maÂterÂiÂals are apÂplied, reÂpaired and replaced. Â鶹ÉçÇøapp uses inÂnovÂatÂive materials and proÂcesses to enÂsure that refractory continues to perÂform at its optimum, as any isÂsues with linings could mean the comÂplete stopÂpage of a facility.
In the steel inÂdustry in parÂticÂuÂlar, this is not an opÂtion, as a plant needs to be running at exÂtreme temÂperÂatÂures constantly. Globally, we have worked on several large-scale proÂjects where we used inÂnovÂatÂive technologies and processes to maintain and opÂtimÂise coke batÂterÂies. Using comÂplex thermal conÂtrol, we switch off inÂdiÂvidual batÂtery ovens, fit the neÂcesÂsary refractory materials and bracing systems that hold them and move on to the next one. This enÂsures the constant opÂerÂaÂtion of the faÂcilÂity.
Â鶹ÉçÇøapp is one of the few comÂpanÂies in the world that can do this and our expertise can exÂtend the life of cerÂtain components by 10-15 years. All the while enÂsurÂing that your busiÂness keeps moving durÂing the process.
