IMPORTANCE OF REFRACTORY LINING FOR PROCESS PLANTS

Refractories play an important role in the performance of furnaces, heaters, kilns, lined vessels & equipment, incinerators etc. Services related to the areas of Refractories for operating plants and in-house projects have been a part of EIL's work for most of its clients in India and abroad. Proper design, selection and application of refractory lining are the key words for efficient performance. In a continuous plant, failure of refractory lining in any equipment results in shut down of the unit causing sizable revenue losses. Even best of the refractory materials, if not applied properly, may cause failures. It is, therefore, imperative to provide utmost importance to design of lining, selection of materials and application of refractory for improving the availability of the plant/unit. Refractory services group is offering these services and more. The wealth of information, experience and expertise developed through decades of involvement in numerous projects and operating plants maintenance and trouble shooting assignments are now available to the clients through project or directly. 

                  In furnaces, heaters, reformers etc., where the lining is subjected to high temperature and high pressure of operation, it is particularly important that the quality of refractory lining in such critical equipment is maintained at different stages starting from material specifications, procurement & inspection at different stages and during installation. For many of EIL projects with refractory lined vessels and equipment, specialists from Refractory services group ensure quality supervision. In most of the cases, the process licensors recommend to engage expert agency to monitor the quality aspect of refractory lining. Therefore, howsoever good or renowned refractory application agencies are engaged, the lining job being manual, without serious quality control and monitoring by expert agency, deficiencies in lining work may creep in. Once the application is over, the total quality check of the completed job is difficult. Also, it is because most of the masons and skilled operators engaged by the application agencies for a particular job are floating type, giving rise to similar deficient quality output in most of the cases. To a certain extent, it may be possible to evaluate / identify some of the problems in the lining by non-destructive evaluation methods, such as radiography, but they are expensive and cumbersome for lining job. Over and above, carrying out small post-commissioning repair may not cost much but could force a shutdown of the furnace for many days, causing huge losses.  

                  Inspection of lining condition, identifying probable causes of failure, repair methodology and quality supervision during relining are paramount important. Therefore, to avoid any future problems and for reliable operation of the furnace and equipment lining, it is always recommended that all possible care be taken while carrying out lining through quality control and monitoring method. These services are available from the Refractories group to various industries in India and abroad.
