Fume Collecting Hood
Hot waste gases and suspended particles can impact and erode the refractory lining resulting in increased maintenance to steelwork and reduced thermal efficiency. Fibre addition can improve refractory toughness by more than 100% and halve maintenance costs.

Recommendation: ME 430

Stack
The refractory lining needs to endure considerable mechanical wear from repeated charging. Fibres prevent the lining from cracking and spalling, improving thermal insulation and reducing repair and maintenance costs to vessel steelwork.

Recommendation: ME 446

Heat Shield Doors
Radiant heat and splashing molten steel can quickly crack and spall this refractory reducing protection to surrounding steelwork. Access for repair can be difficult hence performance is paramount. A fibre-reinforced castable maximises campaign life and reduces repair costs by up to 50%.
