Refractory Management
As one of Africa largest refractory management service provider, our goal is to deliver customised, safe, complete refractory management solutions, incorporating material selection, pre-planning, stock management, procurement, demolition, installation, technical support and condition monitoring.
What is Refractory Management?
Refractory materials are essentially heat-resistant materials, such as refractory bricks, castables, ramming or gunning materials, which are designed to maintain their strength in high-temperatures. These materials are often used in highly technical industries as the building blocks for large production facilities, such as smelters and incinerators.
Refractory management refers to the management of these production facilities and the processes governing them. Whilst many of these refractory facilities are designed to withstand intense heat, many specialized industries require resistance to other extreme processes such as acids.
Our team has vast experience, covering a range of furnaces and plant configurations including:
- Brick kilns
- Refineries
- Incinerators
- Acid plants
- Boilers
- Pressure leach tanks
- Rotary kilns
- Cement
- Carbon bake furnaces
- Non-ferrous plants
- Glass plants
- Aluminium plants
- Copper smelters
- Nickel smelters
- Lead smelters
