High-Temperature Systems: Refractories Applications and Maintenance

The integrity of high-temperature assets, such as furnaces, kilns, and boilers, is heavily dependent on the performance of their refractory linings. This specialized course focuses on the selection, installation, curing, and maintenance of various refractory materials. Participants will gain a deep understanding of common failure mechanisms—including thermal spalling, erosion, and chemical attack—and learn effective inspection techniques to predict and prevent refractory failure. The course emphasizes maintenance planning and quality control during shutdown work to ensure the long-term reliability and energy efficiency of high-heat processes.
