Refractory is often used in the refining and process industries to help protect equipment operating at high temperatures. It is typically made of heat resistant materials, such as aluminum, silicon, magnesium, and occasionally even lime or fire clays. Equipment on which refractory is widely used includes incinerators, furnaces, kilns, and reactors, all of which need to be able to withstand high temperatures in order to operate safely and reliably.

Refractory Industrial Services assists clients with refractory inspections covering a number of different types of process equipment, including:

@ FCCU / MSCCU / RCCU
@ Heaters / Furnaces
@ SRU / Thermal Reactors / Converters
@ Incinerators
@ Cement and Lime Kilns
Performing these inspections allows us to make sure that any refractory lined equipment is free of flaws, cracks, or other damage that might lead to a failure or safety incident.

Refractory Dry Out Monitoring; Refractory Industrial Services can also assist clients with refractory dry outs by creating dry out schedules to meet manufacturer and client expectations. Dry outs are important because they remove excess moisture from refractory in order to give it its necessary heat-resistant properties.

Detailed Reporting; To complement our refractory services, Refractory Industrial Services provides refractory reporting services, which can assist with repair projections for future planned outages.
Our reports include a map of the areas we’ve inspected or repaired, helping our clients track equipment damage over time. They allow for a better understanding of how refractory wear develops over time and how it may affect the equipment. A refractory material placement matrix is also included in our reports.
All of these services are just a few examples of how Refractory Industrial Solutions is a leading provider of refractory solutions in the refining and petrochemical industry.
