REFRACTORY PRODUCTS A refractory material or refractory is a material that is resistant to decomposition by heat, pressure, or chemical attack, and retains strength and form at high temperatures. Refractories are polycrystalline, polyphase, inorganic, non-metallic, porous, and heterogeneous. They are typically composed of oxides or carbides, nitrides etc. of the following materials: silicon, aluminium, magniseum, calcium, boron, chromium and zirconium. Refractory materials are used in furnaces, kilns, incinerators, and reactors. Refractories are also used to make crucibles and moulds for casting glass and metals and for surfacing flame deflector systems for rocket launch structures. Today, the iron and steel industry and metal casting sectors use approximately 70% of all refractories produced.
IMPORTANCE OF REFRACTORY INDUSTRY
Refractories play a critical role in the daily operations of almost every sector of manufacturing. These ceramic materials are essential for all heat-intensive production processes. Without refractories, important industries and the products they produce would not exist. Whether it is the ambulances we drive, the hospitals we use, the roads we rely on, the medical equipment that we need, the communications tools we use, the waste we need to incinerate, or the medicines we take, the world we know would not exist without refractories.
In the context of COVID-19, our customers in the steel, aluminum, copper, glass, chemicals, energy, waste management and pulp & paper industries are directly responsible for supplying the primary materials used to produce desperately needed items such as hospital beds, ambulances, respirators, face masks, and other medical devices. Their production processes cannot occur without refractories, even in the short term.
Refractories will always be an essential industry that is vital to the manufacturing of countless goods that ensure the safety and security of our global community. As governing bodies across the globe continue to assess industries, the refractories industry must be placed within this essential business category. ABOUT THE WORLD REFRACTORIES ASSOCIATION
World Refractories Association is a forum to debate regulatory issues affecting global trade, circulate aggregated industry statistics, and promote the interests of the worldwide refractory industry. It also serves as a counterpart to other world industry organizations. The WRA currently consists of six major refractory industry associations and 16 multinational companies.
USES OF REFRACTORY PRODUCTS
Refractory materials are used for the following purposes.
1.Serving as a thermal barrier between a hot medium and the wall of a containing vessel
2.Withstanding physical stresses and preventing erosion of vessel walls due to the hot medium
3.Protecting against corrosion
4.Providing thermal insulation
Refractories have multiple useful applications. In the metallurgy industry, refractories are used for lining furnaces, kilns, reactors, and other vessels which hold and transport hot mediums such as metal and slag. Refractories have other high temperature applications such as fired heaters, hydrogen reformers, ammonia primary and secondary reformers, cracking furnaces, utility boilers, catalytic cracking units, air heaters, and sulfur furnaces.
USE OF REFRACTORY PRODUCT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES
Basically, the refractory industry uses many refractory materials. Such as high alumina refractory cement, fire clay bricks, refractory tiles, and insulation bricks.
Hence, many industries require these types of refractory materials for their daily operations. Below is a list of all the industries that uses refractory products.
1. IRON & STEEL INDUSTRY
The steel and iron industry’s primary materials for their operations are refractory materials. For example, using refractory monolithic for heat control to make iron and steel.
Also, this industry also needs refractory industry solutions for other applications as well. Such as to hold and transport metal and slag, furnace lining to heat steel, and in flues where there are hot gases. 2. REFRACTORIES SOLUTIONS FOR ALUMINUM INDUSTRY
Refractory contractors are often called for refractory material installation for the aluminum industry.
Generally, aluminum processes include melting, refining, treating, and processing aluminum products and scraps. Hence, these furnaces need the right refractory materials for each stage.
Since aluminum has a high oxygen affinity, the potential reactions can cause corundum at the surface lining. Hence, this industry depends highly on high-quality refractory bricks for the durable refractory lining.
3. GLASS INDUSTRY
The glass industry primarily deals with thermal and chemical attacks in its furnaces. This will badly impact the superstructure of the furnace. Resulting in severe damage to glass production.
Therefore, use only the best refractory material to safely prevent any damages. Such as heat and chemical destruction of the furnace lining.
Furthermore, hire expert refractory lining contractors. So your glass processes do not face extreme heat changes, affecting the glass quality.
4. REFRACTORIES FOR POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY
As the power generation industry evolves, so have refractory installation companies. This is because supplying any type of power to the world involves many processes. Therefore, controlling the heat processes needs knowledge from a skilled refractory installation contractor. For example, extracting energy from coal needs strong boiler refractory to protect against thermal shocks.
5. REFINERIES, PETROCHEMICALS & CHEMICALS
Refineries, chemical, and petrochemical plants need particular refractory castable. This is so it can maintain the refinery and hydrocarbon processes involved.
Besides that, the right solutions can reduce the refractory lining consumption rate. Such as in fired heaters, catalytic reactors, sulfur burners, and gasifiers.
Likewise, these plants must plan to lessen running costs and their carbon footprint. Hence, they demand long-term refractory lining stability.
6. INCINERATION
Primarily for waste incineration, suitable refractory linings can prolong the service life and maintenance of the overall plant equipment.
Also crucial, incinerators face high temperatures and intense processes. Hence, the rotary furnaces and combustion chambers need efficient heat transfers. The right monolithic refractory can solve this by protecting against aggressive environments.
7. REFRACTORY SOLUTIONS FOR CEMENT INDUSTRY
Another industry that needs reliable refractory solutions is the cement industry. The reason being the common operational problems that occur in cement processing plants. Some of them include thinning of refractory lining, alkali build-up, and intense thermal shocks that can create spalling.
Thus, durable refractory applications can protect kilns, burner pipes, coolers, and other equipment. As a result, the processing output will not drop due to weak refractory.
8. REFRACTORY SOLUTIONS FOR LIME INDUSTRY
Fundamentally, lime burning processes include converting limestone into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. So, equipment such as rotary kilns and shafts requires high-performance refractory linings.
With the right refractory design, the preheating, cooling, and burning zones are safely controlled. All in all, the strong refractory solutions can maintain optimum lime production.
